You had to search the seven Seas again and again with the Tempest to find the location of Somewhere. That seems to cover SSSSSST keyword quite nicely to me, and keeps its usage in the same location it was used it.

It only took me about 10-15 minutes to get the correct US solution...having worked the Japanese solution beforehand was still a help, even though the puzzles were different. But since it took 40 minutes after launch time to get the website to respond for me, it didn't matter so far as winning went.

How can you tell that you have the right answers. Will or has Volvo posted the answers somewhere and will or do they include the logic behind the puzzle answers?

It wouldn't need to say which country the numbers are for, as it would assume that you're in the country you stated when you signed up (or by which code you put in, I forget). I received the email as well, so it's definitely kosher.

Official email from the US. I hope this finally puts all doubts to rest. They don't quite give the method for solving, but by the answer, we already *know* the method! Wink

Dear hunter,

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

It sure wasn't easy. 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 saw 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. Thumbs up for everyone 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've seen the two sets of symbols in the dunes, right? 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: 43642476

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.

We are currently in the process of contacting finalists for the Final Leg.

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.

The Hunt remains online
Meanwhile all the clues and puzzles from The Hunt are still available online, so even if you didn't solve all puzzles you can keep trying to solve them for fun at www.volvocars.us/thehunt.

For now, we thank you for hunting along!
