I am confused as to what set of numbers most think we can work with.

Is the number for the islands with nothing to add actually a "o" like in 1755n7710W.

Can we use this topic forum to clear up what we think as a group the set of numbers we are using?

1 bottle
7 seas
... S
5 plate
5 maderia
n plate
7 top of ladder
7 dead tree
1 pulau
0 dionede
2 or 5 Isla
0 cape horn
w cozumel

The one from sargasso sea comes from when he calls you the unlucky "one". Not from there being one bottle

has anyone considered-i know it is another 'too easy' possibility and haven't looked up the coord. yet.

St. Vincent is the location where they built the port royal fort for the first potc. and they also built sets at rancho palos verdes marineland for the stormy seas sequence shots.

Sorry didn't mean to be annoying with my last post. Found another interesting thing but it probably is nothing, after loading isla culebra in the opening scene lightning strikes the island the same way twice. I screen captured it and its a six if you count the branches of the lightning. Just thought I'd throw that out there.

Misha's right....I have noticed the rainbow and wondered if it framed a number, but I have a laptop, so it's kind hard to tell.

Also, there *is* an extra number on Diomede. Maybe two of them. I understand that one of them is part of a constellation, but since the rest of it is off-page you end up with a 2.

I am QUITE convinced we need to unscramble them and use them on the first of the two puzzles....maybe the second one.



Confused

Where in the star field is this? I've been trying to see if Palau Jong has anything with Diomede staying night longer. If you listen to the guy he says eternal night. I was hopeing that if you turn the vases in to the right position Diomede would stay dark and we would be able to make an extra. There are a lot of stars that don't connect to anything.

Connecting the coordinates

If you connect the coords and assume that one of the zeros is a 6, you get 1755N7612W---Morant Point Jamaica!

I believe she's referring to the bottom right hand part of the star field. And it's not an obvious two, which to me signifies that it is not a coordinate. Knowing that all the other numbers on Diomede consist of fictitious stars, while this one does not, only reinforces that point.

Isla Mas A Tierras

Just a possibility

I went back to Isla Mas A Tierras for another look and there might be a 5 there. If you don't count the footprints at first and start at the pile of rocks first then the stick with the v stuck in the ground and then the 5 sticks stuck in the ground then the coconuts.

Again just a possibility.

Bottom left is the 2 (or a Z) and bottom right is the 1.
