A new online game has taken over the internet. However, the players do not try to find a word or solve a puzzle. Instead, they try to guess a song. Bandle, the new song-guessing app, has become famous on platforms like TikTok, Twitch, and YouTube, where streamers and content creators have posted videos of themselves playing the game. The free game gives players information about one song, including the year it was released. The player listens to the track, instrument by instrument, starting with drums and figures out the song. Players can guess the song at each layer until they reach the vocals. They can also ask for a clue. The game's creator, John Levy from France, said the success of the popular online puzzle game Wordle inspired him to create Bandle, NBC reported. After Wordle's success, many developers have tried to make games in a similar format, including Heardle, another music-guessing game; Poeltl, a basketball-player guessing game; and Lewdle, a bad word-guessing game. Levy told NBC, "Everybody's asking me, 'It's a great game. I want to play all day. And how do I do that? That's how it became an app — just because people gave me the idea."

"I haven't done any [marketing] at all whatsoever," Levy said. "I don't have the budget for that anyway. It spread with word of mouth." Anthony Fantano, a content creator and music reviewer who goes by the name 'The Needle Drop' on YouTube and 'The Needle Tok' on TikTok, said he heard about the game through some followers who commented suggesting he give it a try. "Sometimes, I'm pretty bad at sort of, like, instantly recalling song titles and stuff like that on the fly. But, you know, it's still a fun challenge," he said. Fantano enjoys seeing his followers react to the Bandle videos, even when they get the wrong answer. Watching others online participate, like TikTok user "Noodles.Music.Dailies," is also enjoyable for him. "I have this alert on Google for the keyword 'Bandle' and each time there's a new video, from anyone really, I watch that," he said. (With inputs from agencies)

After Wordle, a song-guessing game named Bandle takes over the internet

In a quest to unravel the mysteries of the origin of life, a team of researchers have come up with a model which suggests how life came into existence on Earth.&nbsp;

As per scientists, there are two theories regarding how life came on Earth - one suggests that the ingredients for life came from a primordial soup on the planet and the other states that the molecules required for life, were brought from elsewhere, and were "seeded" on the Earth by the cosmos. &nbsp;

A team of scientists, while keeping the second theory in mind, came up with a model which explains how the ingredients of life may have been delivered on the Earth and how it is likely to happen on other planets outside our solar system.&nbsp;

In a paper published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society A, the authors stated how "bouncing" comets are likely to have distributed the raw ingredients for life, which are known as prebiotic molecules, across the star systems which are similar to our system.&nbsp;

Throughout the study, the team emphasised simulating rocky exoplanets which orbit around sun-size stars.

"We're learning more about the atmospheres of exoplanets all the time, so we wanted to see if there are planets where complex molecules could also be delivered by comets," said Richard Anslow, an astronomer at the Cambridge Institute of Astronomy, in a statement.&nbsp;

New Zealand reported a breakthrough Thursday in tracing the source of a Covid-19 outbreak that plunged the nation into lockdown, with Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern saying it should help "stamp out" the virus.

Health officials have been trying to determine how an Auckland man contracted the coronavirus this week, ending a six-month run of no community cases in New Zealand.

Tests showed the man had a version of the Delta strain found in Australia, and Ardern said investigations narrowed down the origin to a person who arrived from Sydney on August 7.

She said the traveller had been in quarantine and hospital since touching down, indicating the virus had not been in the community as long as initially feared.

"We believe we have uncovered the piece of the puzzle we were looking for," Ardern told reporters.

She said finding the outbreak's source also increased the "ability to circle the virus, lock it down and stamp it out".

Case numbers grew by 11 overnight to a total of 21, she said.

Ardern ordered a three-day national lockdown, New Zealand's first in 15 months, when the first case emerged on Tuesday, with Auckland and nearby Coromandel facing restrictions for a week.

"We're all prepared for cases to get worse before they get better, that's always the pattern in these outbreaks," she said.

But she said there were grounds for cautious optimism "because we believe it wasn't here for long before it was found".

The infected traveller arrived from Sydney on a so-called "red zone" flight, arranged to bring back New Zealanders stranded when Wellington suspended a trans-Tasman travel bubble due to multiple outbreaks in Australia.

The person tested positive two days later and was hospitalised a week after that.

Officials said it was still unclear how the virus spread into the community and 1,000 close contacts of positive cases were being assessed.

A decision is due Friday on whether the three-day lockdown will be extended or end by Saturday.

'Covid zero' strategy

New Zealand has adopted a policy of eliminating the virus in the community, rather than containing it, which has resulted in only 26 deaths in a population of five million.

Neighbouring Australia has been pursuing a similar "Covid zero" strategy, but is struggling to contain outbreaks of the Delta variant.

Health authorities on Thursday urged mass COVID-19&nbsp;testing for an entire Outback town in far western New South Wales, where an outbreak that began in Sydney two months ago is spreading.

The area is grappling with Australia's first significant outbreak in Aboriginal communities, with specialist military health teams deployed this week to boost sluggish vaccination efforts.

Early in the pandemic, Wilcannia's roughly 750 residents put up signs on the town's limits asking travellers not to stop, fearing the virus could obliterate an already vulnerable community, where more than 60 percent identify as Indigenous.

New Zealand says it has solved COVID-19 outbreak 'puzzle'

Anne Frank once taped over two pages in her diary with brown sticky paper, leaving a small puzzle as to what material the Jewish teenager, who had no idea of how famous her diary would later become, wanted to exclude.

Now Dutch researchers have revealed the answer: corny jokes and a summary of her ideas about sexual education when she was aged just 13.

"Anybody who reads the passages that have now been discovered will be unable to suppress a smile," said Frank van Vree, director of the Netherlands` Institute for War, Holocaust and Genocide Studies.

He said the jokes "make it clear that Anne, with all her gifts, was above all also an ordinary girl."

Frank and her family hid in a cramped secret annex above a canal-side warehouse from July 1942 to August 1944, along with four other Jews. They were betrayed and arrested by the Nazis in August 1944.

The pages, dated to Sept. 28, 1942, were contained in the red-and-white checkered diary Anne had received for her birthday in June of that year, shortly before they went into hiding.

One joke involves a man who fears his wife is cheating on him. After searching the house, he finds a naked man in the closet.

When the husband asks the naked man what he`s doing there, Anne wrote, the naked man answers: "Believe it or not, I`m waiting for the tram."

The Anne Frank House photographed the pages with a high- resolution camera and a light shining on them during a regular check on the diary`s condition in 2016. Later, researchers realized the underlying text was partly visible and modern software could probably decipher it.

Anne Frank House director Ronald Leopold said the pages were not really scandalous or surprising, as Frank openly discusses her sexual maturation elsewhere in the diary.&nbsp;"The only element that might be interesting from the point of view about her development as a writer and as a teenager is the fact that she`s creating, kind of, fiction," he said.

In addition to the jokes, Anne summarizes what a period is, describes the mechanics of sex in couched terms, and relays what she has heard of prostitution. "I sometimes imagine that someone would come to me and ask me to inform him about sexual subjects, how would I do that?" she wrote. "Here`s the answer..."

Anne frequently edited and re-wrote her diary entries during the long months in hiding, especially in 1944 after the Dutch prime minister in exile asked in a radio broadcast that people keep records about life during the occupation. But exactly when and exactly why Anne blocked out the pages will likely never be known.

"She was probably afraid that other people she was hiding with, either her father, her mother or the other family would discover her diary and would read these things," Leopold said.

Anne died at the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in 1945, aged 15.&nbsp;Her father Otto was the only member of the family to survive the war. He recovered her diary and had it published two years later. It is now considered one of the most important documents to have emerged from the Holocaust and has been read by millions of people and translated into 60 languages.
