Here's something I noticed, but don't know what to do with... The colors on the buoys seem to correspond to the colors around the border. You see the way 36 is on the green part of a buoy, 1 is in red, and 10 is in orange?
I started looking for somewhere in the bricks that has red in position 1, orange in position 10, and green in position 36.
And I found it, if you start at the red brick at the bottom right and then go counter-clockwise.
But I have no idea what to do with that. It also could just be a coincidence.

You'll also see that you can find the same thing going clockwise from the lower right corner (purple/red/purple - as seen on the key buoy). This way, though, red = 1, then start counting again from 1, but instead of 1-36 and stopping on the #'s 1, 10 and 36, you start from scratch each time after landing on a number. So # 1 is the red in the lower right corner. Then count 10 more (not 9 more) and you'll land on an orange (above the U of SOUTH). Then count 36 more and you land on a green (upper right corner next to the W of WHISTLE). Counter clockwise they land on the right colors if you count 1-36; Clockwise they land on the right colors if you count 1, 1-10, and 1-36. Again, not sure what to do with this.

. The “SO 3 A” can be applied to the 3 A on the border phrases, but does it also apply to something else? Like the 3’s found on the previous illustration or his 3 fingers in shape of E 3

And I found it, if you start at the red brick at the bottom right and then go counter-clockwise. But I have no idea what to do with that. It also could just be a coincidence. I also just realized that 1+10+36 = 47, as in 1947, the year of the fire.
And that the buoy with 67 (white) and 1(red) could be 67+1 = 68, part of the 44/68 coordinates of MDI.
The previous illustration - the Nikon camera lens, is all about the number 44. 4D = 44, and the license plate of 62-18 = 44. On that page, the circle touches letters on the right and left borders. 44 is latitude and this would match that right/left orientation and the round lens suggesting circling the globe.
The Lobsterman page could then be about longitude with 67+1 = 68, and it has the lobsterman pointing up and the crab pointing down, suggesting an up/down orientation. There is also the buoy with 31(white) and 01(orange) which could be 31+1 = 32. Then 32 + 36 (the green buoy above it) = 68 but that could just be coincidence.
Unless my math is wrong, then, nevermind!

And I found it, if you start at the red brick at the bottom right and then go counter-clockwise. But I have no idea what to do with that. It also could just be a coincidence. The purple and red bands on the "key buoy" seem like an important clue. Your starting point is a purple and red pair of tiles under the crab, and there are other purple/red pairs in that border. There are also tiles that easily COULD have been purple and red, but the artist seem to have switched to navy blue instead of using purple. Is that deliberate? What if the purple / red combinations are the "key" for that page and will help us discover part of the riddle appearing in that chapter? If this approach is correct, maybe the widely varying keys in each illustration provide clues for approaching the secret of that particular page? So the trees might be the place to look on the Fandango page, because there are keys there. (I guess his fur, too.) Neptune's beard and the treasure chest lock on the Neptune page. The Fop's pants and flag. I am guessing there might also be a color or two-color combination for each illustration or for borders that have varied colors. Maybe the "Gone weird and red" comment in the Nikon text tells us that red is the color for the Nikon border. (The fox's eyes are also red on that page.) The fact that you found the "starting point" for the lobsterman border down by the crab reinforces my suspicion that the mosaic page is a key to the book as a whole: the crab is included inside the border of that key.

. Bouys point to letters OR, next to OARS
reflrction of TRAP on OAR, gives PART OAR(S) ?
LOBSTER / LOST BER
U I are missing from the vowel list on boat. Guess S = south, south of the boat at SOUTH and RAISE are a U I
“now that u and i have crossed paths”
the U and I capture the letters
OARS
the U from tuNE and same I capture
NEAR

Start at the bottom right corner. The red brick is 1, as hinted by the middle crab bouy and the red 1 bouy. Count backwards to the 16th brick (orange like the orange 16 buoy), continue counting till the 36th, which is green just like the buoy. Why are we doing this?? Because the stars on this particular page hit the letters in the exact same spots as 16 orange and 36 green. There is a 5 on the chimney. Numbers Open Riddle Treasure Hidden is a 5 word phrase. Lobsterman is pointing to North. THIS PAGE WAS PROBABLY THE HINT TO USE THE STARS TO GET THE STAR RIDDLE, NOTHING MORE.

I think your buoy color/number to border is something more than just the star riddle confirmer. I’ve recently had a HUGE breakthrough with FAndango. I’m Fighting really hard not to post it. Part of me wants to reinvigorate the hunt for the blogs with this info, but since I’m pretty sure I’m the only person in 12 years to decipher this major clue, which is confirmed over and over and over in the book, I gotta play it thru first

Sometimes its what you dont see and hear that a searcher needs to consider.

. Hi illuminatinps,
Hope you are well.
To repeat a topic from months ago...I believe their are hundreds of messages / connections coded into the puzzle, which may help or hinder (Im not clear on some of it). And while it might be fun to play with them, i believe the required information is not much trickier than reading the red and blue border letters.

Astree Couldn’t agree more. I couldn't agree more as well. I think this is the main reason this hunt has not been solved yet. There are too many things packed into the book which prevents one from determining what is pertinent and what is superfluous.

Here's something I noticed, but don't know what to do with... The colors on the buoys seem to correspond to the colors around the border. You see the way 36 is on the green part of a buoy, 1 is in red, and 10 is in orange? I started looking for somewhere in the bricks that has red in position 1, orange in position 10, and green in position 36. And I found it, if you start at the red brick at the bottom right and then go counter-clockwise. But I have no idea what to do with that. It also could just be a coincidence. I took the buoys as a “key” to getting a skip sequence. Purple/red/purple buoy with a key is telling you your starting position. There’s only one purple/red/purple combo on the border. The south east corner. But like people have pointed out, both direction work with slightly different count patterns. Count straight thru the colors, or restart your count every time you hit, 1,10, or 36. Who do you trust more? The lobsterman pointing to go north or counter clockwise, Or the crab telling you to go left or clockwise? Depending on which way you think is correct (the crab symbol on the key page is touching a checkered border by chance...is that a clue to watch out for a crab touching a border somewhere else in the book?) you will get a different count sequence. Use that count sequence to go around the border words, starting in the same south east corner to generate letters for Possible anagrams. How many times do you go around the square? Or how many 1,10,36 combo’s do you do before stopping? I thought 5 possibly because of the chimneys hidden 5. Also...are the two buoys numbers reading horizontal and the two vertical numbers positioned that way for a reason? Using this 1,10,36 method of counting around the borders of other pages seems to generate some words also. The thing is do you always start In The same corner? Or do You look for directions or a marker on each page indicating where to start your count? Doing this on the Indian page, starting on the only W in the border text (taking the big W on the stone bridge as a indicator) generated “pass fire pit wins” If you go around thru 5 total 1/10/36 combos. But nothing that popped out at me as being conclusive. Anagrams are a SOB like that.
