So he wants the cricket to be depressed?  I think you typed this up wrong.

Since the timerature went up (faster chirping), I would think the assistant's alibi is confirmed.

Please change the sentence...it should read:

His assistant claims that he was in another building having an argument with a maintenance person over the temperature of the greenhouse being too cold since his test cricket gets depressed at anything under 65F(~64 F was the temperature he says).

Thanks for the correction, my editor is out of town for the next year or so:)

Is he avoiding high taxes on his iPhone app?

String_Theory,

Not bad for being fairly new.  I did a quick search and found that there are state machine and event based versions of Simon Say's and even a DAQ project implementation out there.  

Here are some examples:

Thank you for these SS. Now I don't feel so bad about mine.

I need to get better with my error handling though.

[String_Theory]

Here is something that is completely different. It is a simple puzzle game. Try it out see how you like it. Think level 4 might be impossible. Good luck

An entomologist is found dead who was an expert with tree crickets.

His assistant, who coincidentally was descended from Oppenhiemer, is suspected of poisoning the poor man's coffee with some potent drug yet to be determined since coffee was found spilt at the scene.

A homicide detective (that's you) at the scene who recently made a very profound post on the LabVIEW forums has been brought onto the scene. He would like to convince his superior's to buy a LabVIEW full developers suite and would like to show off the forensic possibilities of such an extremely sophisticated software suite ...it's used by the NSA you know?

It seems they have an audio recording of the only witness to the possible homicide, a cricket named Chirpy.

It seems that they have those tricky little thermostats that throw comfort information at you. When in fact all temperature controls are maintained in another branch of the university, by a curmudgeon using LabVIEW...the nerve of some people.

The maintenance man who can’t be reached to verify the assistants alibi, in an unrelated incident has fled the country to avoid high taxes on his billion-dollar business...”iRuff”... an iPhone app that tells you when the dog needs to go out.

Armed with LabVIEW and the only piece of evidence...is the assistant telling the truth?
Can LabVIEW be used to corroborate the man’s story? Hmm....

Was my answer above not correct?  Or are you looking for other people to respond?

He is lying! 36 chirps in about 19 to 20 seconds yields temperatures above 66 F. I reasoned from this from labVIEW peak detection.

You guys are close but this time I need a *.vi, remember he's trying to impress his boss, and this is a LabVIEW Puzzle challenge:)

Actually, that gives 67F, close to what he said.  And then the temperature went up to around 79F.  So it seems like he's telling the truth (went and made somebody turn up the heat).  Now if I can just get LV to count the stupid chirps for me.  All of my signal processing skills seem to be eluding me right now.
