Yes. If you want hints, go look at the separate thread about the puzzle in question. Every puzzle to date has a thread now.

if you are using a PC, go and find you temporary internet files folder. I found it best to emty the folder first and then visit the site to get the minimal amount of files.

Once in, only consider files begining 01 02 etc... they are the only ones that count. With the riht software you can decode them. However, unless you have that software you cannot play them outside of a browser with all the encryption garbage that follows.

Decompiling the flash isn't always useful. For example, you will never get the destination as a link, that is not in there.

For the start puzzle, the sheet of paper with all the number is available. However, for the crabs in cuba the numbers you uncover are almost matchstick. and the pieces in the file are only sections, not complete numbers.

For port royal, the map is available, but the numbered icebergs are seperate images, so you still have to put them in order.

For the Southwestern Atlantic all we have is the video of the numbered man.

For the Southeastern Atlantic you need the map from the dealer.

For Socotna, as noted, the tiles change. Only the individual tiles are available, not the complete maze.

For Ceylon there are no written number to discover, and it is easier to weigh the spices than to try and work out the action code within the flash.

And of course, we are all waiting on the Bay Of Bengal.

You can get it out of your browsers cache. For Firefox, open a new tab and type "about:cache" in the address field. For IE, Tools->General->Settings->View Files. Then you have to track down the right file in the respective list. In Firefox, you can use the browser search tool effectively to help find the file. Of course, then you need a SWF decompiler (free ones can be found) and enough knowledge to use and understand it.

In the case of this maze, you would only find images of the different tiles in the SWF file, no single image (yeah, I looked). That's because in this case the maze is generated at runtime using the tiles semi-randomly (everyone gets the same path to solve, but the tiles used to make the path change every time you load).

So the complete pictures you saw were almost certainly from people who assembled a couple dozen screenshots.

I see - so I'm not the only one tinkering then? What do you use, I have Sothink SWF Decompiler

Also don't forget to check your bulk email folder, it may end up in there.
