I'm trying to procrastinate harder than Katie is...

Katie was procrastinating by looking this up. I'm procrastinating by writing about this for her...



The Beatle's infamous first chord to the song Hard Day's Night has been decoded by Jason Brown. It's only taken 40 years!! (And it was decoded using math)

It consists of: George Harrison playing the following notes on his 12 string guitar: a2, a3, d3, d4, g3, g4, c4, and another c4; Paul McCartney playing a d3 on his bass; producer George Martin playing d3, f3, d5, g5, and e6 on the piano, while Lennon played a loud c5 on his six-string guitar.

Crazzzzyyy. Listen to it on your computer because it's not like you don't already have it on your iTunes or anything...
