### ProblemThis file is a complete mystery to me, I've never seen notes like these!
### HintMorgan Freeman and Kevin Spacey would have fun with this one!
## AnswerAfter researching the file type that the given file was, I downloaded the required program to view it properlyand was able to see that it was a piece of sheet music with only two alternating notes, in three-measure segments,each separated by a full measure of rest.  I did some research on the hint, and found that Morgan Freeman andKevin Spacey were in three movies together, but by far the most popular of the three was Se7en, so I did some researchon that movie and read about its plot.  Unfortunately, this research wasn’t very important to the problem.  After lookingmore at the music, I realized that if each measure was a letter to a code, then the first letter would be “s” and thethird letter would be “t”, and I noticed that the notes within the first and third measures were different by one note,meaning that it was a code that would probably be a sort of number system, and, realizing the hint was just the number 7,converted each set of three measures into a three-digit number in base 7.  For each of the lower notes, that counted asone added to the digit.  For example, if a measure read EECCCC, that would denote the number two.  After converting eachof these measures into a number in base 7, I converted each to base 10, and then to ASCII, giving me the flag.  ### Flag
