I think it is actually Cocos Islands (see http://www.cocos-tourism.cc/about.htm )

New Puzzle... I am HOPING, Sab, that this isn't a puzzle re-hash.....like finding dubloons or plate shards in the sand, or even counting colors of fish. I am hoping it is a completely original puzzle. Like in the old game, the puzzle I thought was the MOST original was the ladder game. That was super creative as far as these things go. Frustrating, and time consuming, but the whole way you are thinking how wicked cool the thing really is.

Agree with that, that ladder was one of the most difficult as it was so easy to lose count.

Lantern puzzle The lantern puzzle was very interesting but not in keeping with the times in which these puzzles are suppose to be taking place. Just my way of thinking but they should stick to things according to the pirates of the caribbean time frame. With the lantern puzzle I was thinking that it was some sort of a switch type puzzle and that you had to click on the lanterns in the right order to get all the lanterns burning and then the results would be revealed. I didn't like the fact that it was so slow to move across the screen. It was kind of like the crab puzzle slow.

Interesting Cocos (Keeling) Islands Facts William Keeling of the East India Company was the first to stumble upon them in 1609. Did everyone notice the little mini hunt puzzle back in the Sentinel section.

It's odd that on the map the red line moves north-east from the previous location, and yet the figures for the latitude mean it should be further south.

Odd Map When we moved from Singapore to South of Java we should have went southeast but we went southwest. Now we went back northeast which is not right either. The coordinates that the map circles is nowhere close to the coordinates of the actual place your right.

Hey All,
HUGE back at Krakatoa that was likely another clue going into that puzzle. The first set of coords were 6 61S which is not possible. There are only 60 minutes to a degree therefore, we had and extra 1. With the 0's on the lamps, we had our binary code clue laid out for us before hand. Sneaky?!

Time in Cocos Islands = GMT + 6 1/2 hours. The puzzle should therefore become live in about 5 1/2 hours.

Behind the mask Behind the screen mask is a faint picture of a skull don't think it has anything to do with the puzzle though.
