Step 1: Study the article about an instrument-choose from flute, harp, violin, piano, bassoon, trumpet, timpani, bagpipes, guitar, and more. You'll learn about its history, famous compositions written for it, and the performers who play it, but to get to the really good stuff, you'll have to crack the code.
Step 2: Read the first question, find its answer within the article, and start thinking; it's your first clue for solving the code. Different codes are used for each instrument unit and the codes vary in difficulty.
