Thread: Challenge #18

Heard Island Cemetery


According to the data mined emails that was found - our next stop should be:

Antarctica's Ice Desert

When I put

Antarctica Desert

in the search window of Goggle Earth - for some reason this place came up:

Kerguelen Island approx. 4930S 7008E

Which is approx. nw of Heard Island. I can see an island in the distance in the first Heard Island Cemetery picture.

I think the Google Earth had googled an error! Did not make any sense to me. Is just be more info to confuse me now.

I also found it interesting that the iceberg that is circled to indicate Heard Island on the map above was the one with 53 on it. The one we scratched off on puzzle #3.

Are we going to visit the rest of the icebergs from right to left?

Solution:

6439S 9634E

Forbidden seas with forgotten land... with forgotten men.

Solution method:

Bold numbers on the grave markers:
6 - 61
4 - 28
3 - 37
9 - 54

Notice that the 2-digit numbers from the dates of death will form the sequence of counting numbers, one through eight. Pair each number 1-8 with its corresponding number from the dates of birth.

1 - 6
2 - 4
3 - 3
4 - 9
5 - 9
6 - 6
7 - 3
8 - 4

6439 9634

I am working on the same theory that these last few puzzles have the same nos. that are on the scratch off iceberg puzzle - at the end of the world wall map.

notice we are traveling towards the next iceberg with the nos. 43. and both coordinates contained these nos.

hey! just about any theory at this point can be proven stoOpid later!

(if the next set of coordinates contain 21 or 20 it will even surprise me)
