After a little wait whilst collecting and editing each groups Restoration of Darkness presentations, four documents have been created illustrating the reasearch, and solutions into restoring darkness in Yokohama City.

Below is a snap-shot of some of the work carried out by each group with a description of what the detectives were investigating and solving. The full pdf documents can be read by emailing usborne_pa@aaschool.ac.uk (combined document size; 8Mb)
