I can't possibly understand why people are already checking forums for the answers. It hasn't even actually come out and you already gave up. If you can't figure this one out on your own; which is without a doubt the easiest puzzle that anyone could have made up, then how do you expect to have a chance at the finale puzzle. And even if you get lucky, when you look for the car, they are going to have you draw numbers for diggin assignments and then go, there is obviously going to mind games for that too...
It's just diheartening, give it a try. Figure out what HAS to be right, then run with the other numbers you are playing with. Put forth some effort. And yes, before someone fires back, I have already solved it.

Thanks, that's all I needed to get started, since I don't have my email yet. I took a lot longer finding the X and O than solving the island. I got the coordinates right on my third try.

well its 10.04 am in the uk, if that helps you figure it out. i dunno bout this whole stuff being released all over the world at different times. you just gotta read around this site. there are many threads on the subject.

on another subject, regarding this paths route people have managed to hack and show on here - manmade hole next? thats where the compass points if you place it on the barrel stone... but i cant get the right keyword, not that its any use until the 30th.

views?

[UPDATE] - Isla Mas a Tierras - Questions and Help

Hi Everyone,
I'm new here so please don't jump down my throat!
Up to now Iv'e done everything on my own, but I must be having a serious thick moment!
I haven't received my email yet for Isla Mas a Tierras but have been on the map and the new clue to get the keyword to enter is:
When the eyes of the skull see X and O,
They mark the place of where to go.

I have put the skull cards eyes over the gravestone cross on Slough of 3 (west of the island) and the other eye fits perfectly over the 'O' in Manmade Hole. But now what???
Please help!
Emma x

EDIT: Merged with existing Isla Mas a Tierras questions thread. --Phaedra

the answer

My eyes strugged at 1280x1024 and then it hit me, back to the old 800x600 and all was so clear. I can now see what everybody else could see. This island puzzle was easy but now we have to wait until the 30th for the next entrance.

tell me about it! ive got an immense resolution on my 22" monitor, and have been pressed against the screen - then i just changed the res for this one - the 0 was cheekily disguised i agree! there are bloomin sneaky if you ask me! easy puzzle - these four days are going to be LONG! in the meantime, does anybody know how long it takes to renew a passport in the uk?

how is it decided at the end of the internet puzzles? what with so many people doing them?
