 		Yes, please tell us more about the solution.
What state are you from, areaglew? Can you please tell us what the final answer was and how your wife solved the puzzle? Did your wife use this forum much during the game? Good luck to you and your wife.

 		email from volvo arrived ths morning...

Dear Hunter,

The Hunt is almost over. Thousands of hunters from all over the world searched tirelessly for the one-of-a-kind Volvo XC90 inspired by Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest .

It's been a tough journey. If you completed the trip around the world and solved all puzzles, we think you should be proud of yourself! We noticed that some people went to great lengths to solve puzzles. We watched the valiant struggles. But we also saw the rise of a close Hunt community with people helping each other along – an effect we appreciate very much. Congratulations to everyone for making The Hunt a success!

Final answer
What was the correct final answer? Now that the last clue for the final puzzle has been sent and the hunters have submitted their final answers, we'll tell you. You should have seen the two sets of symbols in the dunes. One set contained symbols that made up the 8 numbers for the solution; the other set defined the order of the number. The two combined made the correct string of numbers: 38899036.

Final Leg
Now there is only one stage left. The hunters from around the world that were the first to submit the correct final answer and meet eligibility requirements will compete at a secret location to find the Volvo XC90 inspired by Disney's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest.

The finalists were contacted personally on 17 July.

Even if you are not one of the finalists, be sure to view the activities that take place during the Final Leg of The Hunt. See who's the best hunter of them all and who'll uncover the buried Volvo XC90. In early August, we'll notify you when the films and photos are available on The Hunt website.

For now, we thank you for helping make The Hunt a success!

Best regards,
Volvo Car UK Limited

 		woo hoo!
so, here's the final solution for all of you who are still wondering if your answer was correct. (i assumed that our answers were incorrect, because the solution was "arbitrary" as someone on this forum stated earlier.)

As almost everyone has determined, the inside-the-box answer was:
4-3-6-1-8-2-7-5

my wife and i had solved the 13 previous puzzles separately, but we decided to work together in the final. we found the box and determined the answer above by about 2:25pm ET by my watch. i submitted the answer and thought we had done well.
jenny then found the box lid (for some reason, she decided to click around a little bit more) and we saw that there was more to the puzzle. we couldn't decide on a good solution to the box lid problem, so we resorted to just counting the distinct lines that make up the eight characters. here's what we came up with:
4-6-4-4-6-3-7-2
i told my wife this had to be incorrect, but she wanted to submit it anyway. i told her "whatever" (using my best high school girl voice), then we worked out the final solution by combining the two sets of numbers. the answer she submitted was:
4-3-6-4-2-4-7-6

she submitted her answer around 2:35pm ET. i was sure we were way too slow to win... but the puzzles were fun, so we were just happy to compete. jenny was very surprised when she received The Call.

we live in georgia... looking forward to meeting DecipherGuy from arizona who is also a finalist according to pirateblog.
