 		Yellow 092 - Dudeney's Medallion (Sunday Telegraph)
Quote:
AVAST!

After digging up the fabled treasure o' the ninjas and escapin' from a stranded isle, ye've found yeself a place on a great grand ship. Afore ye weigh anchor and sail home tho', there remains one more mystery. Y'see, the ninja treasure held a truly wondrous piece - Dead Pirate Dudeney's Medallion! But as with a lot o' pirate gold circulatin' these days, it be mathematically cursed (indeed, it be playin' merry hell with ye PEGLEG holing's - the Pirate Exchange for Gold with Landlubbers for Economic Greed, o' course!)

If ye can't solve the curse, ye be doomed to lose yet ANOTHER leg and eye! Ye can't ask ye scurvy pirate crewmates for help, as they all be right regular geomety experts and surely would laugh at ye for bein' an uneducated, lily-livered scallawag - and then toss ye off the deck! So ye'll have to answer the curse yeself, and show them all the be biscuit eating dogs!


Beneath is a picture of the talisman. it has "COUNT MY TRIANGLES ESCAPE THE CURSE" written around the edge, and a pattern in the middle.

It is a bottom right yellow pixel, worth 23 points.

It is signed by KURT, and has a guest puzzle architect of Adrian Hon.

 		Can anyone answer the puzzel on the page where it says "Where?" it's above the volcano. You can see it in the top left of the scanned image in this topic.
Also, is that part of a letter or a tube in the top right of the second page?

 		I don't know, but I think the answer is
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Venice, because pictured seems to be a gondola, a mask (Google image search for 'venice mask' shows masks), and.. something else, don't know what it is.

EDIT: Yes, it is Venice. The third image is a tower thing in St Mark's Square in Venice.

 		It was released in the Sunday Telegraph on the 16th April, just like the lovely Algrebragraffi had been in February.
