My name is MacG467, and I was asked to write this...

I have narrowed the possible answers down to four different ones.  I used the following information to guide my way...

First, from Puzzle #4, SouthWestern Atlantic, there is a dead man on a board.  On his body are ALL the numbers we needed for the entire game.  Here are the numbers...

Now, when we start the final puzzle (Worlds End), we are presented with a floating lantern, then it falls followed by other items.  One of these items is a bouy.  This bouy is a source of contention for many people.  A good amount of people say it represents '2' because of the two red marks.  While I was working on the puzzle, a friend noticed that the boxes looked very close in shape and color to the lanterns.  I took a closer look...

She was RIGHT!!!  The ridges on the sides of the red boxes are meant to represent the two lanterns that are also falling.  So, what numbers do the lanterns represent?

The first lantern that falls represents a '3' (look at the above chart).  The second one represents a '4'.

So, now we know that the lanterns are '3' and '4', so now add them up to get '7' for the bouy.

Now, there's a vase, and looking at the chart, the symbol on it represents a '5'.

So, now we have four numbers determined:

Lantern: 3
Lantern: 4
Bouy: 7
Vase: 5

How about the bottles?  I will be quite honest with you all, I was originally wrong and sent the wrong answer.  I thought the bottles represented a '2'.  I thought this because the brightness and contrast on my monitor are both at 100% and I saw a 'symbol' on the bottles.

Boy, I sure think I am wrong now...I didn't keep it simple!  The bottle most likely represents a '1'.

So, now we have all the items identified, but in what order?  There's two possible ways to look at it.  You could either work from left to right, or you could do what I am 90% sure on and that is work by falling order.  After five minutes of timing everything, I got the following:

'3' Lantern, bottle, bottle, bottle, bouy, '5' vase, '4' lantern, bottle

Which interprets to either:
31117541 - if the bottle is '1', which I think it is and I am 90% sure this is the correct final answer.
32227542 - if the bottle is '2', if you believe my theory as to why it's '2'.

If we work from left to right, the order is:

bottle, '5' vase, '4' lantern, bottle, '3' lantern, bouy, bottle, bottle

Which interprets to either:
15413711 - another good possible answer
25423722 - only if you agree with my bottle being '2'.

SO, in conclusion, the FOUR POSSIBLE ANSWERS I believe are:
31117541
32227542
15413711
25423722

-MacG467

As an afterthought...my answer (32227542) was submitted 30 minutes after the opening of the game.  My friend submitted 31117541 at the same time.

Didn't Volvo say something about the treasure being located somewhere out the coast of South Africa? In the terms and conditions the price gold is mesured in South African currancy and it is likley to belive that it will be close to the SA shore.  My answer 3211 1541 applys to a place outside the eastside of the SA coast. I see that other options also could make the right spot. Such as 3011 1541 or 3711 1541. But i cant find any of the coordinates you figured out to match....? Oh well... ohoy to the living dead....

The answer is not a set of coordinates.

It is just a string of numbers.

Anyway, people at Prometheus have been receiving calls from Volvo...the correct number is: 31117541

I looked left to right and founf the bottle going over first I t was the only one I could not make out if it is a 7 then it would fit the next three which were the vase with a h which is 5 the plack with the loop lookijn v with with the loop at the bottom which is 4 then a bottle which could be 1 so that would be the 7541 the next is the backwards 7 which is 3 the bouy with the to lite laterns which is 1 1 and the bottle which is 1 which would give 3111 the only one I was not sure of was the first bottle on the far left why would it be 7 and all the rest 1?  any ideas

In going over my notes there is a waterfall in lower South Africa that looks interesting.  If you submit the coords in backwards 27... 31.. they come very close to being a perfect match with Durban, a South African port city over there.  To further make it appealing there is a district called Hho Hho.  Also it had alot to do with the West Dutch Indies Comp..  Just a little useless trivia till the winner is announced.

Volvo seem to have gone silent as to what is happening.

great for what they did on the hunt

but please let us know what is happening , why leave is in the dark about #21's answer

it should not matter now

don't let us get pissed off after all the good will

Frustrated Carrian

I gave the CORRECT code as I am being told was correct (31117541) and have not heard from ANYONE!!!  I answered in less than 15m.  Why were we told ONLY ONE entry, but those off PROs site keep saying they answer, some as many as 12 tims AND THEY GOT A CALL?  Lost in translation???  Anyone have the Corp# to Volvo?  Joy is madmad ~

Well....the correct answer for the puzzle was and is  311 S  17541 W...and after that you will get to the Treasure Chest

I hope that everyone had fun....I sure enjoyed it...

Actually, no. The correct answer is 31.10N 17.541W. As you can see from the map, it is in international waters off Africa, within a day's cruise from Gibraltar. <http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en&safe=active&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&hs=OkW&q=31%3A01n%20175%3A41e&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wl>
