The list is in a particular format that goes with a special coding system. Without just saying what it is, I think we have been recommending people check out "Silly Season" under user-made puzzles, but if you get stuck, feel free to send me a PM I checked out the Bacon cipher but don't know how to apply it to the web list I apologize that you were distracted by the off-topic discussion in that thread. It's not Baconian. Look to Amanda's hint and mine earlier in that same thread.

And just to avoid more distractions, and put the information in one place, which I apologize for not having done in the first place, the relevant clue is What 3 Words which if you add a .com, will lead you to site that I assume from the format of the list is intended to help you interpret the list. What you do with the new list you get is not yet clear to me, but it's clearly not a random list.

now on to where to go from here. Question -- has anyone solved the puzzle as intended yet? I've been through the three related threads that converge here, and we'd gotten this far on our own, but we're stuck with at the same point as neutronstar. I know people have deduced the answer to the lock itself, and I'd rather not have hints about what that answer is, but has anyone actually figured out what to do with the libraries, and the numbers between groups of libraries?
I've seen some speculation, but can't tell if anyone actually found a way to work with that information. We've tried looking at the libraries' OCLC codes and/or their MARC organization codes but we don't seem to be getting anywhere. And mapping doesn't seem to help either.

There is a separate thread with speculation here: curiosandconundrums.freeforums.net/thread/458/harvest-time-spoiler

I am more than a bit confused, this thread was talking about the Sundial day lock. I saw the clues about Raskovnik and praying but still don't get it. Help please

I am more than a bit confused, this thread was talking about the Sundial day lock. I saw the clues about Raskovnik and praying but still don't get it. Help please The lock asks "when must it be harvested?" The "it" is the Raskovnik, a magical plant. Early in the speculation about solving this lock, many were researching the legends about Raskovnik hoping for a clue. Later, people found research into certain elements of religion and prayer played a part in making an educated guess at the answer. While this was successful, the intended method is being explored over in the Harvest Time thread.

Are there any other hints beside "Pray" for this one? I'm not getting it and this is one of my last two locks...

Not to mention there are three different times of day, none I could find at night, so... I got nothing.

Are you familiar with the monastic Liturgy of the Hours ?

Yes. There are three separate hours of prayer but they are all numerical. Such as "First" "Third", etcetera. I had also thought of "Vespers" "Mass" but with no way to make them 5 letters and still have the word make sense. I may have to re-consult my musical terms again as well.
