Keep looking and stay away from the blasted "NO" Your looking for a paper and an open box. If you can decipher PLEASE let us know!
You have to go back through the entire puzzle and find all that remains....In bermuda you will find a "2" on the lid of the box and a "5" on a pc of the plate

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 1 thru 8 on the left. Now take all the shapes in the column and combine them together BUT note which of the 16 triangles are duplicated. In the first column it is only the top right triangle pointing down. Now look at the original triangle patterns for that column and you will see that the 4th one down matches the duplicate. Column 2 duplicates the bottom left 3 triangles. Same pattern as row 3. And so on.
43618??? (I'll let you figure out the last three.) What you will notice is that you have the numbers 1 thru 8 in jumbled order.
Now put those numbers on the symbols found on the paper with the skull. Re-order the symbols from 1-8......The rest should be simple to figure out.

Looks like there are as many guesses as there are people trying to play...and that's exactly how Volvo wanted it I bet!
Here's how I came up with my guess: The graphics on the box lid are the code to how to decode the inside of the box. The number of strokes in each graphic is a clue, eg the first graphic takes 4 strokes. The 8 digit number for that is 46446372.
Making that answer WAY too easy to be the final 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 lid (27364464) to count out my spots since the entire box was going to read from right to left. So I counted 2 spots to the left in the first horizontal row and counted the number of triangles in that spot, then continued down each horizontal row, using the corresponding number from the box lid to count out spots. I think that another key to getting the correct answer is to count how many of the smallest triangles will fit into each larger shape.
So in the end, I ended up with a number that, when adding in North and West, puts me in the Canary Islands. Maybe it's right, or maybe I read WAY too far into it (or maybe I'm just a dumb@$$!) But that's my 2 cents...

I found the spot for the paper in a "sandbank". Vertically in the center. And horicontally its the "sandbank" right to the biggest part of grassland.
But I still havent found the spot for the box. maybe someone can help before my hand gets a spasm ;-) Is it in the same sandbank?
Thanks a lot

Here is what I'm 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 8 symbols in the 1st row fit in the symbol on the box top. I'm just counting how many in each row fit.
I think I'm doing it correctly.

My answer was 38690893. If you look at the top of the box they look like numbers but the top and bottom parts rubbed out.
First symbol looks like a 3 without top and bottom curve etc
Inside box was too complicated. Could be a red herring????
Anyway I'm probably wrong

Guess I am missing it - I found the box but I don't understand the talk about the "top of the paper/book"????

you have to find the right spot and it will bring up a box with symbols in it..it's in the middle of a big sand spot
