The Binary Theory
In Rainbows was released 10 years after OK Computer
In Rainbows was released on 10/10
In Rainbows was announced 10 days in advance
In Rainbows has 10 letters
In Rainbows has 10 tracks
In Rainbows is available from a rumored ten servers
In Rainbows is available only as a digital file (so far)
O = O.K. Computer
I = In Rainbows
In Rainbows was proceeded with 10 cryptic messages using the letter X (roman numeral for 10)
Puddlegum thinks the key to unlocking the "hidden message" is to create a playlist intertwining In Rainbows and O.K. Computer (see their site for the suggested playlist). The result (I just listened to it like that) is interesting. It certainly sounds great together, but is that just because they are both wonderful albums or is it something more? What do you think?
Another interesting point to note is that at the golden ratio of In Rainbows (61.8% through) Thom begins to croon "In Rain, In Rain, In Rain, In Rain, In Rainbows" This appears to also be true when the two albums are mixed together.

What is this "golden ratio", and how did you come up with it?
The golden ratio:
a+b is to a as a is to b
or roughly 1.618
It is found in nature and is used throughout the arts. Paper sizes are based on it, the human form follows it, tree branches often are found in the ratio, basically it's applications and discoveries are endless. Along with Pi (the golden ratio is called Phi) it's the most mysterious and intriguing of numbers.
Oh, and OK Computer also has 10 letters.
