Ok, I don't know the order but there are some things I've figured out:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
When you move the symbols onto the grid they take up different sizes. Very similar to day8 on the web cam: the largest one covers 13 x 13 squares, then 8 x8 squares, 5 x 5 squares, 3 x 3, 2 x2, and 1x1. Then another symbol is added (a star). I've been trying every combination I can think of, but I haven't figured it out yet. There will be 720(<-edit, thanks) possible combinations (I think)
Let's get this thing cracked.

Good luck to us indeed....
From what I can tell (and it's probably wrong, seeing as it took me a while to figure out how the symbols could possibly resemble the signs on HWAU), the symbols represent, from L-R:
Flame & fire; canidea; trident; corvus corax; ophidia; lepidoptera.
Not sure about 1st and 3rd, I could have them the wrong way round there. And of course that doesn't help us work out the order they're supposed to fit on the grid. My only suggestion is that lepidoptera would perhaps be the most precious, as they represent the souls of the dead. Otherwise I'm stumped.

1,2,3,5,8,13

Make that 720 (6*5*4*3*2*1)
That's just the way you can arrange the tiles. It doesn't take into consideration the different ways you can number the tiles (1-2-3-4-5-6 / 1-2-3-5-8-13 and reversed) plus I'm pretty sure you have to remember to spin the tiles the correct way to make the spiral. Total pain in the rump.

i don't see how we can solve this one without additional information. be it another clue from somewhere or something that has changed on one of the websites we need something.
still scratching my head.

oops, guess my thumb missed the "0" key. thanks.
Here's a question: let's just say that 1235813 are the numbers we have to put in the boxes. well then 123-5813 is enough numbers to indicate a local US call. Does it give us a UK number, too?

For all those who can't seem to get pure enough. Here's the grid you can't see, yet.

Not necessarily, that depends how long the area code is. My local number is seven digits long because my area code is only four digits long. The area code for London is 020, by the way... although I suspect it might be a mobile?

Actually, the way I read it, you have to input the tiles in the correct order, label them correct, submit it, and if you're correct then you get the phone number to call.
Would make more sense then trying to get a phone number out of 1-2-3-4-5-6 or 1-2-3-5-8-13

Hi This is for the people who can't get to the grid. This is what the grid looks like when it is all filled out. Notice the shape & size of each symbol and the little star. Obviously mine is not correct, lol, so no need to try and duplicate it!
