I received this link this morning and it is driving myself and everyone here at work crazy. There are 13 clues hidden in this room, and it takes all 13 of them to unlock the door and get out. So far I lead with 12 clues found. Can you find all of them?

OK. I admit I am stuck.

I have 11 items. I can't figure out what to do now.

Potential spoilers/my status:

I have the box, battery, CD case, memo, two round-head keys (silver & gold), cassette, metal stick, power cord, ordinary key (square head), and thin ring with sculpture.

I've hooked up the CD player with the cord.

I've put the stick and the ring on the box. I've flipped the ring.

WTF do I do now?

Is the memo's URL important?

Now, once you get both ring and the stick, the mystery box play an animation of a dancing man on the wall. At some point, he will point at a little start next to him. If you wait the end on the film and click on it, it will open a chest on the wall

So the question is: what is the freaking combination for the chest?
