You can try to resist the McFerrin, but it's pointless. And what's the harm? From the looks of it, he only intends to turn us into an army of harmless humming zombies. For now.

So the trick here is that they go higher and lower than the notes he has shown? Incredible! People can make logical assumptions!
i don't get it
It's proving that the pentatonic scale is embedded in every human's brain.
I posted this like a month ago, but it's still awesome.
I like the scientific response. "Larry, what the hell just happened here?" That's awesome man.
That left me with a really good feeling. A harmonious feeling. I think I'll add it to my favorites.

He gives them two notes and from that they all naturally sing the same scale. It's cool because if you sing any pitch and someone says "sing a higher pitch" there are infinitely many choices you can make. But here McFerrin tells the audience to sing a higher pitch and they all independently figure out what pitch to sing because they all have some innate knowledge of the pentatonic scale.
I remember seeing this before, it gives me the good kind of goosebumps, it's just one of those amazing things.
Why does everyone hate the save system? It adds challenge. It actually puts one of the survival elements there. You can't be safe everywhere but in the save room yes. However i do wish they would add more savepoints.
