Keep looking and avoid the blasted "NO" Your looking for a paper and an open box. If you may be able to decipher let's know.

You have to go back through the complete puzzle and find all that remains..In bermuda you'll find a "2" on the cover of the box and a "5" on a pc of the plate

Here is what I am doing:

I am using the box top symbols the incorrectly named paper/book/etc. as "grids." I look at the inside box and see if the eight symbols in the first row fit in the symbol on the box top. I am just counting how many in each row fit.

I think I am doing it properly.

I found the spot for the paper in a "sandbank". Vertically in the center. And horicontally its the "sandbank" entitlement to the biggest part of grassland.
But I still have not found the spot for the box. maybe someone may help before my hand gets a cramp, Is it in the same sandbank?
Thanks lots

On the paper, at the top, does not it appear like it says."you got it". Maybe I'm mistaken.

I entered my numbers, and I feel pretty confident, but I will have to wait and see. Good luck to all of you.

My answer was 38690893. If you look at the top of the box they appear like numbers but the top and bottom parts rubbed out.

First symbol seems a three without top and bottom curve etc

Inside box was too complex. may be a red herring????

Anyway I am most likely wrong

Looks like there are as many guesses as there are people trying to play.and that is exactly how Volvo wanted it I bet.

Here's how I came up with my guess: The graphics on the box cover are the code to how to decode the inside of the box. The number of strokes in each graphic is a clue, eg the 1st graphic takes four strokes. The eight digit number for that's 46446372.

Making that answer WAY too easy to be the last answer, I went to the inside of the box. The far right hand column is shaded so I took that as the starting point and I reversed the numbers from the box cover 27364464 to count out my spots since the complete box goed to read from entitlement to left. So I counted two spots to the left in the 1st horizontal row and counted the number of triangles in that spot, then continued down each horizontal row, using the corresponding number from the box cover to count out spots. I think that another key to to get the correct answer is to count how many of the smallest triangles will fit into each bigger form.

So, I ended up with a number that, when adding in North and West, puts me in the Canary Islands. Maybe it is right, or maybe I read WAY too far into it or maybe I am just a dumb@$$. But that is my two cents.

The puzzle is a box with a 8x8 grid of geometric shapes. Each grid is made up of 16 triangles to form a perfect square. Take this one column at a time. Lable them one thru eight on the left. Now take all the shapes in the column and add them together BUT note which of the 16 triangles are duplicated. In the 1st column it's only the top right triangle pointing down. Now look at the original triangle patterns for that column and you'll see that the fourth one down matches the copy. Column two duplicates the bottom left three triangles. Same pattern as row 3. And so on.

43618??? I will let you figure out the last three. What you'll notice is you have the numbers one thru eight in jumbled order.

Now put those numbers on the symbols found on the paper with the skull. Re order the symbols from one 8..The rest should be easy to figure out.
