I used this puzzle with a different code word for the puzzle pod in our office and my colleagues had a hard time solving it. They thought it was very clever  :)

I can honestly say I’ve never heard that song before.

It's pretty old, but I was counting on it being one of the top "impossible-to-forget" ditties of all time (at least the 5705 bit) for people who have heard it.

Guess not...

The problem is that it was too culture/region specific again and not a logic puzzle that can be solved by logical ;) thinking.

I love 70s music, and never heard that one either.  :-\ besides I was reading it as "fifty seven O five"...  (laugh)
There are those who believe that life here began out there...

Oh, I've done plenty that are just straight logic. There's no rule they have to be though. There's no rule against using Google as well. A few different ones to mix things up is fine.

(Type 5705 into Google and see what comes up as the first hit)

There is, in the first post it is written: »Don't google the solution.«

Sorry, I just assumed there wasn't such a rule. Seems a bit strange that there is one for puzzles that are supposed to be original creations and whose solutions wouldn't be on google anyway.
