To promote the upcoming film Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest, Volvo is having a treasure hunt competition called “The Hunt.” The goal: find a Volvo XC90 V8 buried somewhere in the world. Oh, but this is not just any Volvo XC90, from the press release:
The buried one-of-a-kind, pirate-themed Volvo XC90 features a variety of Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest-inspired elements, including menacing graphics from the film, black leather seats, custom painted 20 inch wheels and more.
The contest begins next Monday and will require a map available from Volvo dealers. There will then bea series of online puzzles to solve leading to the car.
Update: For anyone interested in seeing what this car looks like, visit this site.

Wine Barrels?,,,Go bak to the bottle ye found (where ye dripped rum on it for co-ordinances)…Look at the date on the bottle(roman numerals) covert that to normal numbers and then walk along the barrels till you see the correct dated one,,,arrg

Yes, the ladder is killing me. I have counted up down and tried to find a relationship. I do know that only six sets do not change their positions. I can find no correlation to their values and positions. Also, I am preplexed as to whether of not the key held an extra clue. When you position it, it gives the password, but also there is an extra cutout for the letter “C”. Does this “C” mean anything other than I may be average.

I don’t live in the country or anything (i live in a city of 50,000+), but the nearest volvo dealership is 150 miles away. I’m not interested enough to drive that far just for a map, but i would like to compete. Anyone got any ideas? e-mail: lotrblue@yahoo.com

For fun you could use the word “blackpearl” but in the end you need the map to compete in the final leg.

Correction: The pass word to start the puzzle is “Black Pearl”
