    :D (Scroll up for original post)

    Da-Da-Da Ping, Ping
    Da-Da-Da Ping, Ping
    Da-Da-Da Ping, Ping, PING!

    (I've linked to here from the wiki.)

    And here is the section of the wiki this hint refers to:

  • An extended note to help, "Basic Beethoven" starts with BRASS(SS)

    Balance sheet presentation of Reinsurance
    Anticipated Salvage/Subrogation
    Structured Settlements

    Additionally (but less obvious) the "Da-Da-Da" is delaying the final note (delay = defer, think ritardando) upon which Beethoven's next theme becomes quieter (think quieter or "diminuendo" ~ discount, or in the next term, PDR, D is deficiency (= not loud enough)).

    You can also use music to remember that C before Da-Da-Da is "ceded reinsurance" by thinking that musically it helps to "recede" before the loud Da-Da-Da.

    Grazie! Molto cantabile! (You must be logged into BattleActs 6U for the link to work.)

  • With PDR added, I like to think of it as BASIC PDDDING (said like "padding"), and I find even the last word helps in a meta way because I can remember it's getting "padded" with an extra D from what the word would usually have.

    I like that.

    My first thought when I read "PDDDING" was pudding. The extra "D" means it's extra Delicious. :p
