Welcome to the Archive. You have been tasked with restoring order to these fragmented records. Identify the hidden patterns within the chaos and categorize the items into four distinct groups.

Proceed with caution. The connections are not always as they appear.

Step 1: Select four items that share a common link.

Step 2: Submit your selection for verification.

Step 3: Beware of Red Herrings. Some items may appear to belong to multiple categories, but only one solution restores perfect order.

Step 4: You have four chances to correct your mistakes before the connection is severed.

The Archive is a repository of the forgotten. This is a challenge of pattern recognition and a test of obscure knowledge, spanning the annals of philosophy, ancient history, the cosmos, and the arts.

We verify our knowledge against the ages, filtering signal from noise to sharpen our minds against entropy. There are no barriers here—no logins, unlimited puzzles—only the endless pursuit of hidden truths.
