so i am stumped someone tell me wat is wrong with the poem and i read the clue
Use the sum of the ascii values (of the answer) to get a number.

Now, it is time to LEARN something new.

If you know where this leads, use the number you got as a time stamp. What just formulated itself? A product of chalk and friction.

i got the one from the end and the beginning line (2213) but please help me with the poem one

You are a little off track. The ASCII sum is a time stamp to something, and that something is on those circular glass things. The rest of the clue tells you where on the glass things, that's all. The sum should be > 500 and < 700.

is it 542

if you got there the right way, the password hint was on the page that led you to the file. Shortcuts = having to brute force. Doing it the right way and you can get the password in 3 guesses max.
