I too have finished Saint Marie and am waiting for tomorrow's email to continue on. But did anyone make any sense out of that extra number 7 down at the bottom of the screen on the fallen tree? There were no shapes near it that I could tell, and you didn't need it to solve the puzzle. Any ideas? There were also 7 hash marks at the top of the ladder on the previous island.

And the 'N' in the middle of the plate we pieced together - there's loads of hidden little things in these puzzles which aren't required... yet. I agree they'll be needed later on. I might go back and note them down.

Saint Mary

Hey everyone, some people have talked about an extra number 7 on Saint Mary. Can someone please tell me where it is? I'm caught up with Pulau Jong, but I could never find the 'fallen tree with the 7' on it in Saint Mary.
Could you just tell me which page it's on? Thanks.

Regarding scratched numbers:

I found a 5 at Madeira and a 7 at St Helena. Nothing at Bermuda, or St Mary. There was a direction in the Tropics, and found so S on Helena. Anyone else have the same or more?

Those numbers might be very useful later on in the game and could you be more specific where the numbers are in madeira. I know where the ones are in st. Helena.

Infinty Symbol in Madeira

FishTank;

I also noted the symbol on the barrel BUT, I do not think it is an infinity symbol. Since the loops are not equally sized, I think it is an 8. A sideways eight could be refered to as a lazy eight, which has some navigational value if you google it.

Since this involves piracy, it might also imply pieces of eight which, would be the standard currency for this time. Then again, it might just be an 8 because, it would really disheartening if any of us were playing this game to infinty Shocked

Personally, I think these are all clues to over-complicate the game and throw us off. Not that they aren't worth making notes of but, these puzzles have been pretty easy so far in retrospect.

lol, I tend to agree with you about overcomplicating the puzzles, the 7 on the ladder puzzle had me confused as all get out, I was tryin to devide the rungs by 7 and all sorts of stuff but who knows mabe later..... and yea peices of eight would be a good referance but i dont know? and a lazy 8 im not too sure of, being a pilot myself it dosnt seem to work. But again who knows mabe its like the game MYST where the makers/artists just put some easter eggs in for themselves Smile Untill the e-mail happy hunting to all!!!!!


Oh and P.S. GOOOOO HEAT!!!!!! (Im in Miami) woooo hooooo

[Discussion] Random numbers found throughout the game...

Branching this off, out of another topic....

It seems that there have been several numbers listed throughout the game that have, thus far, had no use...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

BERMUDA - Plate burried in the sand with "...5"
ST. HELENA - Number "7" scratched on the rock wall


There have also been some others that either I'm not sure about or haven't seen myself...

Spoiler (Rollover to View):

DIOMEDE - A line in the lower right that could be a 1?
PULAU JONG - A 5 somewhere near the cave?


What do you all think? Any others?
