ISOLATE THE INFECTIOUS AGENT

! ! ASSIGNMENT #5 ! Now that we know Bono is Patient Zero, we need to uncover what he was exposed to. ! DETAILS: ! We need to examine some of Bono’s past musical works for more information about the infectious agent. Here’s what we know so far:

• Each of the 6 mini puzzles requires track information from one of U2’s studio albums to solve. No album is used for more than one puzzle. We have been able to identify which 6 albums you will need to reference, but we don’t know which album goes with which puzzle. ! • For any given album, only the first 10 tracks are relevant. For any given track only the first 10 letters or numbers of the track name are relevant (punctuation can be ignored). The important information from each album has been provided to you for reference. ! • The penultimate step in each mini puzzle involves determining 4 numbers. For each puzzle, the sum of these four numbers has been given to help check your work.

• Your efforts will result in 2 different words. The final solution has these two words separated by an “and”, so your submission should be in the form “______and ______” ! • Included: This page. 6 mini puzzles. 2 reference sheets. !

! RESULT:!! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SCORE: 30pts
