[SPEC] What is needed for next Puzzle

I cleared my temp internet folder and went back to Port Royal and then checked my temp folder again and this was in one of the files. I highlighted the part I found most interesting. This is what we all should be searching for!

A Volvo XC90 inspired by Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's ChestPORT ROYAL17°55' N 76°49' WSound OnSound OffOn Port Royal you need to turn your sound on.It's wise to bookmark the websites you encounter during The Hunt. Your browser does not support the bookmark functionality provided in the following websites. It's advised to bookmark manually.ContinueSKIPBACKEnter the coordinate of your next destination below.Enter the coordinate without spaces or symbols. The coordinate of your next destination is spread across some of the destinations you've already been. When you have found it, you should enter it on this page. GoBACK TO PORT ROYALTo enter the semi-final in Port Royal you need a key word. Go to your treasure map on THE HUNT and solve this riddle. The solution is the key word that you need to type here.After an adventurous journey you return to where it all started. Port Royal. On July 12th at 2pm EDT/11am PDT, this is where the semi-final starts. On July 11th you will receive an email that tells you how to obtain that key word. Then The Hunt continues…Bookmark Port RoyalKey WordEnterWrong key word. Please try again.You won't get in, yetWaitNoYesSail onNot yet

You can tell you have the right coordinates when you insert the correct coordinates into you browser and the response is wrong coordinates but up in the address bar at the end of the address it says wait.

So are these the extra numbers that have been detected?

Coordinates

Yes, That's what I think it means.

The places that I have not found extras that jump out like the rest are

Diomede
Isla Mas a Tierras
Cape Horn

Don't know if the sequence is jumbled but the last coordinate is the W at Cozumel

Didn't find anything at Isla Culebra either.

I think Sabator has this exactly right. As was noted in another of these threads, there were many random coordinates collected during the hunt thus far. While some were clearly imagined, there is no doubt that some were absolutely on target.

The 5 on the plate in Bermuda, the 5 on the dorr in Maderia, and the N on the PLate in the Tropic of Cancer certainly yield the --55N Latitude of the current Point Royal. Some have suggested the Single bottle in the Saragosa Seas and the "Seven" seas quote in the Poem on Bermuda provide the 17 to start that latitude (1755N)

Moving to longitude, on St Helena, there are at least tworeferences to the 7 which would come next - - the seven at the top of the mountain (whic many have pointed out), and the seventh rung of the ladder which forms a cicular reference to itself when used in the same pattern as the rest of the puzzle (second number refers back to step number which has the coord as its first number). This would suggest that the latitude begins with either a single 7, or more likely two 7.

Some have seen a seven on a fallen tree trunk on the Isle of ST MAry, but I can't ffind it and if there's consistentcy with the rest of this Hunt, it should be a fairly apparent number (if someone has it perhaps they could give a screen shot)

There definitely and extra Kanji 1 on the wall in Pulau jong. And then of course there is the W in Cozumel

If That's all right you get 771_W for the coordinates of the last point.

The most likely place to find the last number is in the star field in Diomede - - there were several lines that I could not get to terminate.

1755N 771_W would be at the very tip of the peninsula south of Kingston as shownn on the attached drawing (assuming my measurements are correct)


OOPS My Bad, went the wrong way from 77W Longitude - - point is actually north of old harbor as shown in new attahcment (which I have tried to save at a lower resolution this time)
WHat do you all think?

I think some must be wrong because I would guess there has to be a max of one per puzzle.

When you first get on to the island look bottom left.

Got IT - - Also Sound on and Off

Thanks Sabator - - found it once I played with brightness and contrast.

Another note - - the paragraph you found (I confirmed), says "On Port Royal you need to turn your sound on." Suggests that, like Isle Culebra, some of the clue will be auditory.

Too Many Sevens

I do note that this provide too many sevens (Three sevens are an impossible coord) so perhpas there is only one that counts on St Helena? Or, there is another explanation

The three sevens don't necessarily go back to back to back...

I totally agree - esp since this has been spec since the git go. They most likely won't be in the order we received them. There will probably be something at Port Royal that helps up with ordering them. I'm still liking the Grand whatever that was location. It just seems more plausible that it was buried during filming (or just after) but most likely in one of the same locations.

Egads, the first post may be correct:

Which SWF file? Would I offend if I reminded you that the flash files contain no text, and that the language specific items are loaded via XML?

[SPEC] Last puzzle Clue/Solution

Most of you seem to think that some magic riddle will help you solve the puzzle on the 12th.

What makes you think Volvo hasn't given us all the clues already and the last puzzle is just REALLY hard to solve?

I for one think they will just say something to the order of "all the clues have been given throughout the game, see you in the finals"
