Excelent observation - just looked like a mess to me which is why I missed it. Still I'm not in it to win but to experience it.

[vegyjones]

What is so obvious about the pairs of numbers on the vases??

[MarcusMel]

There are 11 of them!

[vegyjones]

But how do you work out which omes make up the co-ordinates!

[MarcusMel]

What is the number paired with N and what is the number paired with E?

[vegyjones]

There was a N5 and a W11

[vegyjones]

But surey the aplha character goes at the end, There shouldn't be anything after them??

[MarcusMel]

Got it now?

[vegyjones]

No. I seem to be missing something that is clearly obvious!!

[MarcusMel]

Try reordering your numbers

[vegyjones]

But altogether there are 22 digits and 2 letters!
Far too many to put in an 11 digit co-ordinate!

[MarcusMel]

Just the righthand column!

[vegyjones]

So the right vase is insignificant?

[MarcusMel]

I gather from your reply you have not reordered the righthand column.

[MarcusMel]

1,2,3,....11

[vegyjones]

Dur.

Thanks Marcus :D

[MarcusMel]

How many 1's are there in the rh col?
How many 2's are there in the rh col?
How many 3's are there in the rh col?
....
How many 11's are there in the rh col?

You must be either very tired or drunk

[vegyjones]

or very stupid :D

[GlosRFC]

First thing a cryptoanalyst looks for is....serial numbers such as the ones in the right-hand column

[MarcusMel]

Have some fun witht the stars and they use Gloss's Hint and skip to the end!

[MarcusMel]

Shall we delete this discussion?

[John]

No. It may come in handy to "some people". :D

[GlosRFC]

On your own, You're not alone...
On your own, You're not alone...

When the eyes of the skull see X and O
they mark the place of where to go.

Off to Cape Horn now :)

[MarcusMel]

You solved it

[MarcusMel]

Only got as far 5 4 S and 6 W

[scaaty]

I've got absolutely nowhere so far ! A few rocks fall from the sky, I can't find anywhere to click anything - what am I missing ???

[scaaty]

- what am I missing ???

Apart from several million brain cells ! :D

[MarcusMel]

The numbers are hidden in the piles of debris look at the shapes and try to see numbers.

[scaaty]

Thanks Marcus - I can find a definite 5 and 4 in the debris, but that's all at the moment ..... there's a roman numeral on one of the tree trunks, and could the footprints in the sand be one of the numbers ? 3 of the fallen rocks have a W on them .... lines on a piece of driftwood far right .... I'm starting to see numbers everywhere, too many possibilities!
Daughter home from school soon so got to go till later ...... Glos has it solved already ??? D'you reckon he could be the one setting these puzzles or is he just a genius ? :D
