There is a small xylophone and mallet inside the front / lower compartment. Each key is a different color. There are two BLUE keys. Blue (LG) = larger blue key. Blue (SM) = smaller blue key.
In the 5th, 6th and 8th phrases of the song, there is a color word missing and replaced with a letter (X-Y-Z). Use your musical skills (or puzzle solving skills) to figure out which color word is missing and then count the letters in each word. Those numbers are the code to the upper lock (marked with green duct tape).
Play this song:
Red Red Red Blue (LG) Red
Orange Yellow Green Blue (SM) Red
Orange Yellow Green Blue (SM) Red
Orange Yellow Orange Green
Red Red --X-- Blue (LG) Red
Orange --Y-- Green Blue (SM) Red
Orange Yellow Green Blue (SM) Red
Orange Yellow Orange --Z--
Code for upper compartment = XYZ
X = number of letters in the color word that fits in the song in this spot
Y = number of letters in the color word that fits in the song in this spot
Z = number of letters in the color word that fits in the song in this spot
Please replace the xylophone and mallet in the lower compartment and the log book container in the upper compartment. Replace the lock and scramble the code for the next geocacher.
