 		Yeah the Prometheus crew stumbled on the answer but NOT THE SOLVE...there is a big difference.

 		I actually solved this one myself (for a change!) as the prometheus site went down from overloading!

See nusa's clues on the second page of the Heard Island thread in mini degravity walkthrough style.

 		Solve
After making a list of the highlighted numbers, as I am sure everyone did I tried many things. Adding, subtracting, ordeing by age of the men when they died, reversing. So I scrapped that list and made a new list like this

6-61
4-28
3-37
9-54

Spoiler (Rollover to View):
When i was staring at the newly written list, i realized the secondary numbers contained 1-8, and since i have been studying last year's hunt(which I didn't even play) and this years puzzles, i thought that maybe it had something to do with order.

So ..........
6-61, 6----6--
4-28, 64---6-4
3-37, 643--634
9-54, 64399634


When I plugged it in I was happily surprised that it hit. I do these on my own, at work, so I am playing honestly.

 		Any guesses what time zone we are in? Or do they all open at 3 p.m. BST anyway?

 		Time Zone
It says 1800 local time.....however, it's *supposed* to be the same time zone as the Cocos Islands....which would make it 3 hours earlier than usual.....not sure about this.

 		No clues
Don't see anything behind the screen mask to help us out with any clues.
Any ideas?

*supposed* to according to who?

Times in Antarctica are pretty much at the discretion of the hosting country of various bases. Check this out: http://www.worldtimezone.com/time-antarctica24.php

I'm not sure what Volvo is using as a time reference in this case, but my personal prediction is that it'll open at the same time as previous puzzles. Haven't you noticed the pattern of adjusting local time so that nothing really changes on our end?

 		I am a little confused as I just finished my 8th puzzle "Antarctica" and must mait until 1800 27 May local time for the next one to be available. I am in Georgia USA. Are others finding similar issues or am I getting in on this so late that I am only allowed 8 puzzles in one day?
