If you get too frustrated let me know where you are stuck.  Just make sure to spoiler tag it.

It will also be easier if you work together perhaps...

OK about the case sensitive thing.  I didn't realize our servers would be a dick about that.  My apologies.

For future reference, all answers will have the FIRST letter capitalized and no other.

[spoiler]For Yet _____ Strengthens, look up the answer in wikipedia and look at the meaning of the name in hebrew.

The hint for 3 DOES have to do with the movie.  You are pretty close....

Well, I'm off to take a course in quantum mechanics.  I'll see everyone in 4.5 months...   :flush:
[spoiler]You won't need to know quantum mechanics, but it might help.  You just need to know the rules.  Have you used ALL of the clues?[/spoiler]

[spoiler]I've tried to obtain the inner product by multiplying each set of numbers.  Not sure what to do with 231, 100, 600, 441, etc., though.  Then I tried to take the average (mean) of each set of numbers.  Again, no clue what to due with a number like 15.5.  Wikipedia has not been tremendously helpful as a crash course in braketology.  Tried to generalize things and find stuff related to Dirac and the harmony of the spheres, but nothing specific enough as an answer presents itself.[/spoiler]

[spoiler]mean is not really a clue[/spoiler]
