I thought I had it, but then I lost it.

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

I was looking at moon cycles, seeing if this was the order in which they'd complete their cycles, but I don't see where to go next.

lol, sorry. i didnt bother looking at the spreadsheet when it was put on, didnt have enough time. so today just looked at it, and in a few secs i had an idea of wot it was..but i think i only spotted it coz i was did some wikiing before

[itsmyyard]

oh boo someone else solved it, i wanted to gloat for a few more days!!!!

well another one bites the dust.

omg i actually managed to solve a silver, well partially on my own. only solved broadside on my own out of the silvers.

although like itsmyyard said..it may be too much of a give away, so ill keep it brief

the spreadsheet

aaahhh i wanted to write a bit more, but wana talk the the guy that went to all the effort to do the spreadsheet first, maybe i'll add something later

It must be something to do with the order of the numbers on the card as they seem a little out of sequence. You'd normally number top to bottom, but the numbers are out of sequence as you look up the card. I've tried connecting them with relevence to the sudoku, but all I keep coming up with is what looks like a conductors baton movement (but I know nothing about music)

[itsmyyard]

I think you maybe going slightly mad, i maybe giving you the wrong vision :-p

[Bendover]

Its probably a bunch of notes ala water music. I have been playing around with it on a web site but I am lousy with music ACAEAAAEAAAEATAT is the order but I do not know what to do with the Ts

[itsmyyard]

Problem is if i actually give a clue on here I think it would be too big a clue really. Was kinda a breakthru how i got the answer, gotta love staying up til 5am listening to music :-p

Thanks for checking - I haven't looked at this much more today. Still too frustrated - I had foolishly hoped that solving the sudoku and unravelling which of the 16 bold numbers should go with which of the 16 anagrams would leave me knowing what to do next - but alas - no!

[itsmyyard]

I can confirm that your spreadsheet is correct as far as i can tell, though numbers I used were different so it was hard to tell. Makes no difference though.

[Snr Weaver]

The 16 is in the correct place, it is "DATA SEAR" encoded. You need to ignore the numbers on the card until the sudoku is solved.

I think what might be needed is anagramming the first/other letters of the answers whether in mixed up form or plain.
