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.
