Thomas Jefferson illegal smuggled Italian rice from Italy in 1787 to help boost the American economy by shoving it in his pockets. Just imagine Jerfferson walking as casually as possible with pockets full of rice trying not to get arrested.
So apparently at one point during the American Revolution Alexander Hamilton, Lee and a bunch of troops were all across the Hudson River from the rest of the army, and Hamilton and a few other men were destroying bags of flour so the British wouldn’t get to them (since the British were supposed to arrive soon) and anyway the troops saw the British coming and began to retreat by marching off, but Hamilton and the other few men were left by the shore of the river with a heck of a lot of redcoats approaching. Luckily they had a boat and fled back across the river (under British gunfire), but one man died, another was wounded, and they all bailed and began to swim but made it out ok. However, Lee assumed Hamilton was dead and reported thus to Washington and his aides, and they were apparently all mourning him and drinking to his memory when he appeared in the doorway, dripping wet.

He’s speaking about where on the piano… what NOTE the chickens are hitting when they cry! Just by listening, he’s guessing what notes their hitting.
AND HE GETS IT RIGHT!
He’s talking about solfege… like in the song from Sound of Music: Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do, singing a scale. Middle C on the piano is C4, the fourth octave. So when he says the 6th Octave, that means 2 Octaves above the fourth which would be High C. If he’s starting on C being Do… then 6th Octave Mi would be a high E… WHICH WHEN I CHECKED IS ACTUALLY WHAT SOME OF THE HIGHER NOTES WERE THAT THE CHICKENS WERE CRYING! Fifth Octave Sol would be a G sitting at the top of the staff in Trebel Clef (if going by this same thinking) and is only slightly lower than some of the lower pitches the chickens were crying.
