[ANOUNCEMENT] Don't PM, just read theory here....

I need to go to bed...have been up all night playing on a Japanese puzzle only to find out that the US gets a different puzzle....sneaky Volvo crew!

Here is my theory:

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
Ok...funky symbols. You need to alter them by one "stroke" to get a number, and it rotates around.

Thing that looks like Y is first....remove left most leg, you get a 4.
Next one remove horizontal short bar and get sideways 8.
Next looks like E....add line to bottom right corner and get a 6.
Draw line splitting one that looks lik an 0...makes an 8.
Snaky thing is a 5...remove top horizontal line.
Next one is a 6....remove top left horizontal bar.
Last one add diagonal line to make a 4.

48685764


Now go to puzzle pieces.....each row counting down. Place seven of the eight pieces in a sqaure to fill it in. The position of the one left over needs to be marked.

So, those numbers are 37618245 or whatever you get....it is an order.

Take 3rd number in our first strand and place it in first position. That was a 6.

First number is 6.

Second number was the 7th number in our first strand....so it is 6.....


Now you gotta take me if you win! I have a broken leg and won't qualify anyway! Plus I did this on dial up. LOL!!

Nice theory, but don't you think you could add or subtract a line from any of the symbols to create other numbers as well? Why are some vertical and others horizontal. No rhyme or reason here...

Don't use my numbers, try it yourself. If you ROTATE the page you can see the pattern. Round and round and round. That keeps you from changing the U to a 3, for example.

My numbers prolly aren't right. Just try the theory.

Now how funny would it be, if Volvo announced
"Sorry, but no one has gotten the correct coordinates yet."
Laughing

I like your thinking Sassy - I'll have to give that another peek meself.
As for the coords - I 'know' mine were wrong - I balked.

I'm anxious to see how it turns out - anyone know how soon before the 'movie' is released?

You guys should go read my post in the end game discussion. I revamped this theory slightly and found something weird.

Very Happy
