Guys, could really do with some help on where to actually click to find these boxes!!
Have found four clickable spots so far, and he delights in telling me 'no' each time!

Btw, this is my first post on here, only found this site yesterday, could have really done with it on Pulau Jong, spent 3 days on that puzzle!

Ok, I found something different to what has been posted, but I don't know how to screen shot, or upload it onto here.

If someone can tell me how, I can post it straight away.

Yup - Solved it, but made the horrendous mistake of submitting the answer with a typo - 9 instead of 1

So .... I guess I won't be going to Castaway Cay after all.

DIfferent map

I found a different pirate scroll, unlike the first one. I would be happy to share it, but do not know how to screen shot. It has funny symbols at the top, unlike the one on page 4 of this thread. I also found the previous box that was just posted with the screen shot, but I do not know how to post them. If someone can tell me how I'll be happy to post them.

Cal,
That is what I found. I just couldn't posat it because I do not know how to. I can't figure out the box at the top of this page either. I have found it, but don't understand it. I also read that there were 2-3 boxes, and I can only find the one above. Any help would be appreciated in finding them.

As far as I can tell there are only two items - the box and the scroll. I have to take a break though. My brain hurts.

Think I have solved it (UK)! but I think I am too late.


Spoiler (Rollover to View):


The answer to the lid is simply - draw a line above and below the symbols to get the 8 numbers.

Inside the box you need to look down each of the 8 columns in turn, and form a square with 7 out of the 8 shapes in each column. In each column there will be one shape left over.

The position down the columns of the left over shapes will form a sequence of 8 numbers ie 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8, but not in that order. Re-arrange the numbers on the lid that order.



If you want the numbers I got I will post them

I'm not sure the "build a square" technique is correct - if you divide the square into 16 triangles, the first column never fills in the top triangle within the bottom left quadrant of the overall square.

Maybe the UK puzzle is different from the US puzzle I worked on.
