 		[Puzzles] Musical Occurrences
Well, I suggested putting this in this forum as well, but since the Slender Man forum has been taken over by a troll, I'm taking action. Razz

I thought this might be a fun little timewaster for you guys, I can't figure it out. :/

So, I've been following this one since I picked it up from some other thread... the puzzles thus far haven't been too difficult (Pass through Rot-X clears them right up).

However, this most recent one has me stumped. I have to run out so I don't have a lot of time to give it a thorough examination, but I figured you guys might have a bit of fun with it.

I tried Rot-X and looking for a pattern of some kind, but nothing stood out to me. Since I'm new to these things, I figured someone with more experience could point out the "Oh, duh!" moment that I'm missing. >.>;

Good luck!

 		I'm not sure which one you would like us to look at. The one at the top today is just a series of threes -- that's a puzzle?

Solve it within a week, or never see him again.

Skip, skip, skip.


The one below it is solveable.
Code:

I won't paste the solution here, but I'll give you a methodology for solving it:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
If you start with the uppercase L and take every third letter as a new line, the vertical columns will spell words. There may be an error with the beginning of the string, or it is intended to wrap around to the bottom somehow. Remember to preserve the spaces when you do it this way.

 		Perhaps the 3s are just suppose to allude to us solving the "every third letter" puzzle from before...
