$50,000 Volvo Treasure Hunt.

[DirkGently]

To tie in with the new Pirates Of The Caribbean film Volvo have come up with quite an interesting campaign. You have to solve 'nautical' clues as they have sunk a chest containg $50000 and the keys to one of their new SUVs.

You can find it if you Google 'volvo hunt'.

The first clue seems to tricky for me so I have bugger all hope of winning, but I'd like to get past the first couple of clues.

Any clues?

suggest moving this to Farrang pub, then we can make a real TV.com effort. I'm all over it like a rash btw.

[DirkGently]

Good Luck Phazey! I like a good puzzle, but this stopped me dead.

As for moving it to the Pub, can the mods do this. I dont know how.

I will raise you one rash and throw in a cheap suit.

P.S I'll split it with you.

Now looking for the clue on the map???

Tried scratching the map??

[DirkGently]

I worked out how to spin the map and gather the numbers, but how did you work out what number the 2 hearts stood for.........or should i just put on a dunce hat and stand in the corner?

As for the map, you only need that after clue 5 and i guess by then someone can get one.
