To find the correct answer, you simply had to number the icons by counting how many times they appeared in the press advertising. Their order was determined by how closely they were situated to Stella Artois in each case. Stella Artois was of course symbolised of the grid by a star.

Funny.. Hey guys,
First of all my congrats to Meak & Wishi. Curious who are the unknown 2 though. I played S&S for quite a while, but quit half a year ago or something, because I was playing all day and my schoolresults were kind of suffering... Did enjoy it very much!
Glad to here that there is a final sollution, I have to admit I wasn't sattisfacted till now. I of course did read the forum and followed your movements last months...
Since I have a little more time now, I'm looking for a new ARG. Maybe some tips?
Well, bye for now, enjoy the money (drink a beer maybe?) and hopefully meet you in another ARG forum...!
Greetzzz, Janis

That is fantastic guys! Well done!
I wonder who the other two were?
Honestly though, im only about 5% jealous, 95% pleased for you both.
Ok, maybe 10% jealous.
Or 50%...

Yeah, well done guys. I'm glad two quite prominent members of the community took it, especially you as moderator, Wishi.
If only the site had let me back on to it after they gave us the tip about counting the press advert signs : (
And hoorah to not checking back here any more to see if they've finally produced a result!
