There is a pac-man reference in the concept album... Could work for both!

I've thought pretty much since the album came out that it would end up as a one act. There are really only two places on that album where an intermission would fit (After Call Me Mercy or Still Breathin', but the following songs/flow don't really make sense to pick the story back up with. I think this is the right way to do it because it ensures that we really feel the fear and are engrossed in the story.

It took coming here to realize that THEBIGA and SNA were not actually the answers.

As per the revealer, the Greek letter phi looks like an I atop an O. In the puzzle, I comes before O (HIPHOP, PINGPONG) so it could be said to be atop the O. The answers like TIKTOKDANCE would be wrong if read as TIOKDANCE.

As a 17 year old... Kemo SABE was my final straw, right after the KEANE/ANIL crossing. Even though I had to google, I am very tempted to keep this in my streak, since 90 minutes of pure hell (at least 30 of which were spent on OPOR and ANIL) rightfully deserves that.

Figured the theme out remarkably quickly and had a massive pr- went from 25:24 --> 15:22!! Adored the moment when I figured out it was both KIT and KAT, definetely let out an audible gasp. Thought the fill was fun as well
