If there are two puzzles still to come maybe we will need 2 keywords? And we have used the compass 3 times if you include the example with 'creek'.

Yes - ben - i'm aware they were already discussed - that's why I edited my post to say NEVERMIND and that they were the same ones as of last night.

As far as the map - yes you do need an official copy to WIN - not to play. It's in the rules. You must bring a paper copy of the map with you when you go digging for the car. The June 26th deadline was for requesting a copy from Volvo's mail if you were unable to get to a dealer. As long as you can get one from a dealer still then you're fine and yes you can still catch up until the actual semi-final opening.
Just for reference:

Quote:
Visit a participating Volvo retailer between June 12, 2006 and close of business at the participating Volvo retailer on July 11, 2006 to obtain a treasure map with a Secret Pirate Code.

Quote:
YOU WILL BE REQUIRED TO SUBMIT THE ORIGINAL TREASURE MAP WITH SECRET PIRATE CODE OR A COPY OF THE TREASURE MAP WITH SECRET PIRATE CODE WITH A VALID VOLVO RETAILER STAMP IN ORDER TO REDEEM YOUR FINALIST PRIZE. IN THE EVENT A POTENTIAL FINALIST CANNOT SUBMIT THE ORIGINAL TREASURE MAP WITH SECRET PIRATE CODE OR A COPY OF THE TREASURE MAP WITH SECRET PIRATE CODE WITH A VALID VOLVO RETAILER STAMP, THE FINALIST WILL BE DISQUALIFED.

I couldn't find the map request by mail section but since the deadline has passed, they may have removed that information or I may have seen it on a news blog instead.

Looks to be a few more up today.
How do they 'suddenly' appear?

They could've been taken down for many reasons - not necessarily that they're legit.

I don't see something like this taking a whole lot of skill to reproduce. I may have a healthy portion of sole tomorrow, but I'm still leaning towards fakes. Confused

I don't know where I was when you were having this conversation....apparently with yourself? Look back at who said what about the pics.

I am *gi-normously* suspicious of this last photo with the treasure chest, since the website specifically states there are TWO location puzzles for the semi-finals (see HOW TO HUNT on the official site). Since we are already in Port Royal, I seriously doubt you are going to make it to the treasure chest in the first puzzle. If you look at the tool bar in this photo it says "Bookmark Port Royal".

Confused

Hello there everyone

I just got back to a computer. I have been familiarizing myself with everything that is going on. It looks like there is a lot of info that has gotten out. Does anyone know where this info is coming from?

Hey, I haven't been able to get to a Volvo dealer during the contest, but I have been playing along throughout. Is there anyone with an extra copy of a US map that I could get? I would truly appreciate it. Thanks a ton.

Best of luck all.
