Howdy. I think I've got the answer. I've written an audio fingerprinting algorithm to search the Phish archive (every song in "the spreadsheet"). Since it's cheating, I won't post the answer or try to claim the prize. But just for proof, I can post a hash (SHA-256) of the text of my answer (75b31641cc7977048378c8f47fee8b19c6473f15b9b8a905d65fea57d957f307). If anyone cares if I'm lying or thinks this is interesting, that can verify my answer later.

I've been experimenting with audio fingerprinting, so just built this system for kicks. I'm not sure if there's any real positive use for it - maybe identifying mislabeled tracks, etc... first time I'm trying out a newly released mystery jam.
Cool! We've been talking about this for years, and finally someone did it :)

I wonder how source dependent it is - I didn't use the spreadsheet source. We had even considered introducing some (imperceptible) noise to fuck with people using fingerprinting schemes, but decided no one would ever spend that much time cheating for a $10 code haha

PM me if you want to kang your answer (I didn't get a matching hash but only tried a couple date formats)
