yup, please explain how you came to 7!
Personally, I haven't a lcue what to do with it but i would guess it's a book or document we need to locate.

Lots of variables for that.
I'd say it looks like we're being setup for a fall.
Best guess...
83 101 118 101 110 = "SEVEN"
010409-010410 = "DAYS" (If you read it as YYMMDD, the difference is one day)
BK1 = "BOOK 1" (I considered Chess moves, but that didn't seem logical)
66 down 10 across = From here on down, a count of lines/letters in the book
411 down 15 across
8 down 24 across
52 down 31 across
112 down 10 across
11 down 2 across
ETA: There is some weirdness going on at www.bk1.org but I doubt it's related to this.
EDIT2: The book of Genesis?
It includes the whole "seven days" thing and is book 1 of the bible.

that bk1 site is weird haha. The book of genesis seems like its just a coincidence, do we have any reason to believe this is religious in any means?? And i wish i could help but i suck at code-breaking

Well, Genesis doesn't sound that crazy to me :/ Doesn't have to be a religious ARG just because it uses the bible, it's just something that's easily accessible for most people. However, there's no version specified, so it's kind of useless. Might be worth a shot on random versions to see if anything logical comes out of it, but...meh.

010409-010410 could also mean "YEAR" if read MMDDYY or DDMMYY. Seven Years' War...? Heh. Maybe not. I'm lost on this one.

Basically, if it is a book, we have no version information so it's ulikely we can hit the right reprint.
Either we have a bad PM or we're on the wrong track.
I'm looking for websites/blogs right now with seven days/years...worth a shot.

well the 7 days make sense because, correct me if im wrong, we only have 7 days to answer the questions don't we?
the bk for some reason just reminds me of the BTK Kill - Bind Torture Kill, i dont know why he would only say BK then.

From what I hear there is conflict within my challenge, I expected more from you. To guide you be prepared to use a visual aid. Search and you will find. I hope to see progress my children.

You can thank one of your fellow team-mates for the death of Jason, they sent FOUR emails before the deadline and used a tone that I am not happy with. I am not to be mocked. My rules will be followed.
(and yes his spelling is horrible- definitely a low budget production)

I still think we need to get clues 2 & 3 worked out before doing anything else. If those are dates, why these specific ones ?
