Not the answer yet, but I thought I'd cross post some of the more important information from the Neowin forums:


The answer seems to be related to Agatha Christie as all the pictures match a form of murder in her books:
<spoiler>
The fireworks in the video appear to be 4 Red, 2 White, 4 Green, 2 White, 7 White.  From the puzzle we have "13124" in different colors.  Taking the 1st, 3rd, 1st, 2nd and 4th letters from the firework colors we get RIGHT.  Making the clue, "A DEATH CHASE, AM I RIGHT?"  Which anagrams to "DAME AGATHA CHRISTIE" with an "H" leftover.
 
All the pictures match a form of murder in her books:


*Ukulele String 1/8 The Bird with the Broken Wing' (short story in The Mysterious Mr. Quin)
*Ukulele String 1/8 The Bird with the Broken Wing' (short story in The Mysterious Mr. Quin)
Line 17: Line 18:
*Fire 32/28 "The Mysterious Affair at Styles"  
*Fire 32/28 "The Mysterious Affair at Styles"  


Also, using the colors of the fireworks, you can decifer 13124 into 'right' therefore, the clue is "A DEATH CHASE, AM I RIGHT?"
The answer is '''Murder at the Vicarage'''.

Here's me hoping this spurs someone to think of the answer.


It's worth noting that the clue anagrams to "DAME AGATHA CHRISTIE" with an "H" leftover.
