 		Another hidden link has been added. This page contains three quotes that have missing words.

Quote:
From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes ? ? ?

Aleksey Fyodorovich Karamazov was the ? son of a landowner in our ?

Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; ? ? ? ?


Spoiler (Rollover to View):
From "Romeo & Juliet" - From ancient grudge break to new mutiny, where civil blood makes
civil hands unclean.

From the novel "The Karamazov Brothers" - Aleksey Fyodorovich Karamazov was the third son of a landowner in our district.

From the poem "Flanders Fields" -Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky.


ETA* Catherwood pointed out that I'd actually missed one of missing words for the first quote. The three question marks should be replaced with
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
civil hands unclean


Sorry, my bad.

Oh, you're right there are 3 question marks, but the actual quote from Romeo and Juliet is...

ETA* I've edited my previous post, see here. My silly mind was playing tricks on me and filling in the missing words. Sorry for the confusion, my bad.

 		A hidden link to the next question has just appeared under the others:-

http://arklight.webs.com/Txt/What%20next3.txt

Quote:
ArkLight = 41

Word values for Test 2 = ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Well, if we go by a letter-number cypher, Arklight = 1-18-11-12-9-7-8-20
Add together the digits in each, we get; 1-9-2-3-9-7-8-2 = 41

If that's what they're getting at, then the answer is:

Civil hands unclean = 3-9-22-9-12; 8-1-14-4-19; 21-14-3-12-5-1-14 = 28; 28; 25
third district = 20-8-9-18-4; 4-9-19-20-18-9-3-20 = 32; 48
and in the sky = 1-14-4; 9-14; 20-8-5; 19-11-25 = 10; 14; 15; 19

So if that's the correct method, the answer should be
28 - 28 - 25 - 32 - 48 - 10 - 14 - 15 - 19

Heh, beat me to it. So, there's our answer, what do we do with it d'you think?

 		Missed a word in my original answer--see edited message above.

SHOULD be 28 - 28 - 25 - 32 - 48 - 10 - 14 - 15 - 19

Any bet the letter on the next clue is "n"?

Code:
C i  v i  l | h a  n d  s |  u  n c  l e a  n
3 9 22 9 12 | 8 1 14 4 19 | 21 14 3 12 5 1 14
3 9  4 9  3 | 8 1  5 4  1 |  3  5 3  3 5 1  5
         28 |          19 |                25

 t h i  r d | d i  s  t  r i c  t
20 8 9 18 4 | 4 9 19 20 18 9 3 20
 2 8 9  9 4 | 4 9  1  2  9 9 3  2
         32 |                  39


a  n d | i  n |  t h e |  s  k  y
1 14 4 | 9 14 | 20 8 5 | 19 11 25
1  5 4 | 9  5 |  2 8 5 |  1  2  7
    10 |   14 |     15 |       10


So I get:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
28 - 19 - 25 - 32 - 39 - 10 - 14 - 15 - 10


Since ArkLight = 41 instead of 5 (4+1)

If the numerology were done all the way, it'd be:
1 - 1 - 7 - 5 - 3 - 1 - 5 - 6 - 1

Just an alternative to Merago's solve since we don't know what to do with the tens ("S"s).

 		The Portal page has changed.

And, I guess the 7 days are up as we can now sign up. It seems we need to pass the answers we've got on. I've tried firing them at arklightSPLATinbox.com to see what, if anything, happens.

 		Here, have a link!
I'm not quite sure what to do with it yet, though. I'm assuming the answer to Test 1 is 1756608592256, but wasn't Test 2 just words?

 		Good spot! That leads us to:-

Quote:
Answer Test 1 divided by total of Test 2 values ? x ? x ? x ? x ? x ? x ? x ? x ?


Ok, Test 1 answer is:-

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
1756608592256


The values of Test 2's answers (as per Test 3) are:-

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
28 - 28 - 25 - 32 - 48 - 10 - 14 - 15 - 19


The total of Test 2 values= 300
Spoiler (Rollover to View):

Dividing answer Test 1 by total of values of Test 2 gives:-

1756608592256 / 300 = 5855361974.1866666666666666666667


Now, that's not exactly a nice round number is it? Maybe I've got my working wrong, but as far as I can see, that's followed the instructions to the letter. Or maybe I've misinterpreted the instructions? It also doesn't follow the format in the puzzle-
Quote:
? x ? x ? x ? x ? x ? x ? x ? x ?

Is it just a badly worded question, or am I missing something?

EDIT- Ok, so assuming that the question should be divide Answer Test 1 by the product of the values of Test 2's Answers (which would explain the ?x?x?x?x?x?x?x?x?), we get:-

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
28 x 28 x 25 x 32 x 48 x 10 x 14 x 15 x 19 = 1201213440000


Dividing the answer in part 1 with this new value we get:-

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

1756608592256 / 1201213440000 =1.4623617533416875522138680033417


Which, again, doesn't mean very much... Dunno

 		Hmm, maybe we might have to split the answer up into its primes?
IE:
52 = 13 * 2 * 2
16 = 2 * 2 * 2 * 2
108 = 3 * 3 * 3 * 2 *2

EDIT: Clarifiaction, this is assuming means that the ?x?x?x?... is for the answer format. Still doesn't explain the confuzzling answer though. However, maybe since the nest test isn't linked yet, we might not have correctly solved the previous one, Test Two.

 		I hadn't realised it wasn't linked yet. Ah well, I guess we're not meant to have found this one yet.
