I almost hate to say it but the top three's sequence is not replicated in all three of the bottom three...forget the doubling, just write down the three sequences for the top three puzzles, then compare to the three sequences in the bottom three puzzles - only one of the bottom three fits the pattern

Just sent my answer off for June but apparently it is incorrect. It looks like ive probably been thrown off by the stars page. I have the cryptograms deciphered and am following the crow path. I have also solved the sudoku style puzzles but have picked the wrong tomb possibly. Maybe misled by the crows on the tomb.

Just sent my answer off for June. (possible answer redacted)
i Use The Logs ii Using the logs spells out Crow, using the stones spells out Deer iii Gives letters for the cryptogram iv the crow cryptogram refers to things that cannot be touched only felt v bravery and silence cannot be touched only felt, joining the dots makes a “7” vi the crow tomb has a “7” next to it and the solved “sudoku” style puzzles give a diamond and leaf in the orange squares vii using the symbols to read off the forename and surname gives my answer. It’s a bit of a leap that she was the first shipwrecked as this term doesn’t appear elsewhere. But that’s the natural conclusion of the working out
Hi Lee, we have a general policy of not posting answers on the forum, even if they're guesses. You can certainly hint at them, but not post them directly. Also though, if that was your answer for 0.6, I'd check your work; I don't have good notes personally, but I checked my answer submission and what you had was incorrect.

Our answers and path to them were the same from what I can tell from your post.

To find the correct tomb Compare what you get in (v) with what you see in (iii)

To find the correct tomb Compare what you get in (v) with what you see in (iii) (v) 1. drew a line from the dot pointed to by the line from "bravery" to the plus sign pointed to by "clairvoyance".
2. Drew a line from the dot pointed to by "silence" to the plus sign pointed to by "Majesty". Am completely flummoxed. I see no correlation between this and iii. Feel free to pm me please if I need to be led step by step.

2. Drew a line from the dot pointed to by "silence" to the plus sign pointed to by "Majesty". Am completely flummoxed. I see no correlation between this and iii. Feel free to pm me please if I need to be led step by step. Come on lets work this through. So what you get in v are words, symbols and possibly letters (the lines point to letters within the words). And in iii you get the deer and the crow, each with a symbol contained within a circle, and the symbols for the cipher on iv. One message on iv is true, the others is intended to mislead. The messages are: Crow
"The imagination is a super celestial star; it can shed light on, transform and transcend the shallow , constant forms of this world; it cannot be touched, only felt"
Deer
"The cosmos holds a black blacker than black; a psychic fragmention that can only be undone by relating it to physical shapes of our waking life" Solving the sudoku style puzzle I get: Taurus Down Arrow (also the symbol on the deer) Diamond Leaf From vii you can see: The four symbols from vi plus the crown from the crow picture on iii.
You don't necessarily read the full name listed next to the symbol but may have to take letters from one or more symbol to form a name. The symbols above the tombs on vi are the same as the names given on vii, so perhaps one letter from each name to form a four letter name. Whose tomb is illuminated with stars? There are stars around both tombs, one has a deer head and the other a crow. Both have star patterns around them but I can't seem to relate the pictures on iii, to the stars on v or to the stars on vi. There are various paths that can arrive at one answer or another and appear to be a valid path, but not the one that is being looked for. There must be a missing link that isn't jumping out.

Feel free to pm me please if I need to be led step by step. I had trouble with this puzzle too (iii) gives you a hint to decode (iv). (iv) indicates certain stars in (v) but it's pretty vague - that's where I stumbled, I wasn't sure if i should get one star or multiple.
going from {v) to (iv), look beyond the tombs

The message in (iv) which is true tells you which stars in (v) are relevant. What to do with these stars? Well, have you ever done a dot-to-dot puzzle as a child? This gives you a symbol which relates to (iii) and thereby (vi). For the sudoku puzzle in (vi) there are two things to do with it. One is to fill in the spaces. The other is to use a torch to illuminate the correct grids - what do you notice about one square in each grid?

There are various paths that can arrive at one answer or another and appear to be a valid path, but not the one that is being looked for. There must be a missing link that isn't jumping out. So I finally got the right answer, but apparently not the way anyone else did, from Jack's response. I took notice of the shape above the crow's head in (Iii) and then noticed that the same shape was above only one tomb. Obviously if the tomb with the crows leads us to the wrong answer,mother other tomb, where the shape is, must lead us to the correct answer.
My method has no use for the constellations at all. And I still don't understand how they lead to the answer, despite Jaxk's patient explanation after I gave him the correct answer.
Let me know if you need more, I'm not above giving step by step instructions, since sometimes I need them myself. Distantsmoke

And I am wondering if those of us who signed up later in the year have an advantage over those who started early, with this particular month (June 2017). When it comes to the 4 X 4 "sudoku" boxes at the bottom of (vi), there is a very obvious shaded box in each of the four 4 X 4 boxes. There is no need to use a torch or anything else that I can see.
UNLESS, you guys (looking at you Craig and Squirrel) found something I have totally missed. Let me know please, cause I admit this has added to my confusion on this particular puzzle.

I can’t see any logical step from iii, iv and v to vi. The constellations make no sense and the ciphers don’t give clues to any words on v. I do think that if you follow logical steps and arrive at what appears to be a valid answer but is incorrect, then the puzzle is flawed. There must be some tenuous links in there but I’ve pretty much stopped looking at June.

The shading was very faint on our copies though - under a yellowish light you could barely see it at all. I had trouble with June - but only because I hadn’t made the connection to the previous puzzle.
