What lid?

Nevermind - I just realized the scroll is really the box lid.

[subinagui]

i dont think thats true... spains box doesnt have a puzzle like ours (us and uk) and neither ws japan - there are not two sets of 8 numbers. there just arent. surely
spain has 7 numbers - and theres no working out needed. japans braille abortion was just jibberish too - arent you reading into things a little too much. i dno. all shout at me now - i know your going to - i just put in ...

I'm posting this for two reasons... first, because I believe at least three correct answers may have already been posted, and second, I am not sure of these so it's not like posting the absolute final answers...

First, the coods to get to the final puzzle (US site)...

The "extra" numbers we all found (and were pretty sure of) were:

...5 5 N 7 7 1 W

The correct coord was

Firstly, Id like to back up what he said. its been something to do if anything. Ive made some friends along the way - friends from all over!

the puzzle!

i cant see how the two items relate to each other. some people are saying that one set of digits gives you the order to put the others in...
bol*(cks. in spanish site. there are 9s and zeros - how do you place a number in 0th position or 9th position in an 8 DIGIT NUMBER??

So what if what i entered was easy to find and simple. If at the end of the day im wrong... well i didnt think about it for hours and hours while other people were putting it in, and a gazillion other people were already putting in any over-thought answers!

I had fun! it was something to do whilst i waited for the movie really!
much respect to you sharers. a little less to the hoarders, and none to those that just rape the forums - those that are merely a number in 'views' total... shame on you.

i hope we all get to see who did well! and i hope i see you all up there at the top - fingers crossed im on a plane with you or something.

jase.


p.s. there are ONLY TWO BOXES - ITS JUST THAT THE CONTENTS VARY FROM WEBSITE TO WEBSITE -

JAPAN
braille / binary in box - lid has numbers in when you draw a line across top and bottom - see it? good.
UK
similar - also draw a line across symbols on lid - box cotains triangles and stuff (i took this as a red herring after spending like four hours on the braille at japan - to no avail)
US
similar to uk - except lid symbols are just gobbledegook...
SPAINsame lid pattern as UK, BOX contains numbers - i dno?!

hope this helps - and we wont have anymore silly posts saying ARE THERE 3 OR 4 BOXES TO FIND?

[BSQUARED]

I have found 2 boxes, but I have not found a box like the one posted above yet. That means there are 3 boxes...???

hey guys, i have used these forums a few times to help me through so i thought i would input what i got out of the final puzzle (somewhere)

this is what i got,



the lid piece explains itself (these are the final 8 digit solution, now all you need is the order)

for the box i figured you arrange the pieces (working down in columns) to make a full square. There is one piece in each column that wont fit in, this is then your number (counting down from the top). repeat for the next column untill you have an 8 digit sequence (this gives you the order for lid numbers

then simply wright the rows of numbers underneath each other and rearrange them so that they run in order 1-10.

this is what i submitted, hope it helps you guys

Ok, so I have already posted my answer although I am sure I won't win but would like to encourage anyone that is confident that they worked this thing out correctly to come back here after the deadline and post! I want to know how this last one works. (You could always PM me if you want to let me in on the secret now.) Best of luck to all. This has been fun and I intend to stick around the forums and play! Thanks!

somewhere hints

[gatorbait]

Well, nobody has really explained the lid in the US site with all its bizarre 8 symbols. I understand the jigsaw puzzle (the box) and how that gives you the number sequence, but I can't decipher the numbers from the lid.

It was much easier on the other sites (Spain/Japan/UK) from what Ive seen, as you just add lines/curves on the top and bottom to create the numbers. I cannot make any logical sense out of doing this on the US site, enough that i would say "yes, this is definitely correct."

I have no doubt that 3 people have already figured this out, probably long ago, but I'd still like some clarification if anyone has it. As a Disney cast member, I doubt I am even eligible (and do not even have a Volvo dealership map, lol). Nevertheless, i am curious as to this solution.

Thanks to all on the forums, the game has been a blast.

p.s. No surprise at all that Castaway Cay, Disney's private island in the Bahamas, is the final location. As further proof, they recently docked Davy Jones' boat there (the lifesize prop used in the movie). This will add some scenery/decor to the finale of this contest and may very well play into the final solve for the 7 finalists, who knows.

Back to the clue

[sunset90210]

well my solution was to just enter the numbers as found in the box in the sand (uk)
