We just did trial and error, but I see your point. We also kind of cheated by using the grep command to search the files instead of figuring out the folder from the image. O well, next riddle...

If it is listen you usually append a .mp3 to the file. That's how it worked in previous cases.

Yeah I'm done...or close enough.
So what is the deal right now on this riddle:
I. We are fairly certain that the numbers represent the dewey decimal system.
II. The only number that has to do with history is 959.
III. That whatever it is, it is trying to touch me...
What is the purpose of the connecting lines...its not adding up yet.

289 is the only number that doesn't have another link...in the dewey decimal system, that's "Other Denominations and sects"

Probably, but I don't think it is refreshing because I have refreshed the page at least ten times...
Maybe the "past" they are referring to is a past riddle...
