Tile Layout All,
Not 100% on the tile layout since, my boys came into the office as I was working on it. Thank you "Mother's day" and the Mrs is still in bed ( I'm suppose to cook breakfast now, right?) . Just started working on the coords but, I see Syn got it...
Were the tiles correct?

For some reason my last post never went through

My confusion was, I didn't think to try a 6 instead of a 9 for the 7 symbol. I kept thinking 691 - 10525

661 10525 Krakatau
i believe the idea was to match tiles end to end based on matching numbers. for instance, a tile that read 4|5, would match on one face with a tile that read 5|6 ,of course, ALL of the numbers are in a smattering of different languages. Use the dead man to translate. 7 is an arabic 6 .
Hmmmm next Borneo and last onto a Disney Island?

Google earth says the the coords for Krakatau is 06 06 01s 105 25e.

was going to ask how hou could have 61 minutes. - bringing seconds into play isn't very fair, but I think they did this at least once last year too.

Thanks, I finally got back to work through the rest of it.
I think at this point its wise to compile a consolidated sheet with the numbers because, it looks as though this is going to be a staple of the game. Just wait until they have us doing this with the pirate map

Number Pic Now watch we won't use it again!
Some how I think we will though, it has been important in the Southwestern dead man puzzle of course, the Socotna wall puzzle, and the Singapore board puzzle, some how with 9 puzzles left and the final puzzle we might use it again.

On my spoiler page I've been compiling links and snapshots and easier to read translations of the numbers written on the body.
