July 16, 2025 11:59 PM (GMT+2) Could it have something to do with Books Herbert was looking for? I’m unsure how I can extract a date from there. Perhaps it’s entirely unrelated.

August 16, 2025 6:30 PM (GMT+2) A friend of mine confirmed to me that it is in fact related. So now I can obsess over it all I want until I either figure it out or give up.

August 19, 2025 8:20 PM (GMT+2) I had to take a further hint because I tried solving this using only my notes and I was missing the important context that there are statues at the Office that correspond to the Statues at the foyer. I had in fact screenshotted some of the statues in the Office, but never added them to Notion and forgot about it.

In any case, this was yet again another play on the words “count small gates”. In this case referring to counting the amount of small statues of Count Isaac Gates. That number gives you the day (3). To get the month, you just use the “March” in Books Herbert was looking for. The rest is completely irrelevant. A bit of a lackluster puzzle. Mystery solved.
