I decided to do some anonymous lurking to see how our Hero (let’s call him Player X) fares in an hour’s worth of his day to day struggles against his adversaries. The PPC and the APC are explained on my profile page.

Part I. The Hero Sits Down (trumpet)

Player X sits in Position 2. Wishbone sits in position 3. There are 14 watchers. Wishbone’s APC for this particular game is 0.3571.

Part II. The Hero Stands Up (woodwinds)

Part III. The Hero Sits Down (solo violin)

Player X sits in Position 3. Player Y sits in Position 4. Player Z sits in Position 6. There are approximately 11 watchers. Player X’s PPC in regard to Players Y and Z is 0.3636 for this game.

Part IV. The Hero Stands Up (percussion and trumpet)

Part V. The Hero Sits Down (orchestra)

Player Z sits in Position 3. Player X sits in Position 5. There are 8 watchers. Player X’s APC with respect to Player Z is 0.5000.

Part VI. The Hero Leaves (French horn, with a final trumpet fanfare).

I'm not a music guy, but isn't that a bit too late for the orchestra?

JKD:

My source for the instruments is somebody on Wikipedia, who named only promininent instruments in the piece.

Incidentally, the numbers in the posts are the _inverses_ of the PPC and APC. My bad.

why'd you only name wishbone?

btw I put mustard on my turkey sandwich today, it wasn't as dry.

Integral:

I named Wishbone because he is not a "person of interest" in the study. Which implies that the other three are. For the other three, their designating letter has a link to their identities.

Can you figure out who the three players are?
