Puzzle #2:
The Poem from Romeo & Juliet.
Puzzle #2is a poem from Romeo & Juliet, Act V scene 1 where Romeo is buying poison. It goes as follows:
Apothecary
Put this in any liquid thing you will,
And drink it off; and, if you had the strength
Of twenty men, it would dispatch you straight.
Romeo
There is thy gold, worse poison to men’s souls,
Doing more murders in this loathsome world,
Than these poor compounds that thou mayst not sell.
Puzzle #3
Puzzle #3: Puzzle: Broken glass table. The table is an oval. Move the pieces that don’t have the family symbol on them to the outside and work on designing the symbol. Once that is done you can easily add the outside pieces.
Puzzle #4
Puzzle #4 is one of the harder ones, a Maze where Bella goes to find Edward.
I’m assuming this is a scene that will be in the movie? Bella is in a courtyard filled with people who are between her and Edward and you must find your way through to get to Edward. Follow the steps I make in the video to find your way, it took me many tries as this puzzles times out eventually.
Hint 1: At the beginning you don’t need to go to the right side of the maze twice in order to reach the center fountain area, I just got lost.
Hint 2: You will find that you move two spaces each time you press an arrow key as long as there is nothing in your way such as a guard or a wall. If you find that you have trouble making the steps because you need to move one space up and then over,try hitting two directions at once such as up and left at the same time.
Watch the video for the solution, but try to complete it first, it’s fun!
Puzzle #5
Puzzle #5 is the “People’s Choice” Volvo XC60 Features.
In number 6(Phase 5 still) you need to label places that are shown in the map. They are as follows:
1) Spratan Ave the address of Forks High School
2) James Island Across from First Beach and the La Push Reservation
3) Lincoln St where Edward saves Bella from the 4 men

Puzzle #7 :
Maze #2 – Spell stuff
You need to Push the people onto the letter ARO. No other letters can be highlighted. I did them in order, it was easier that way.
Puzzle #8

i agree with the first cinday (lol) that they wouldnt have said to the first person that finished that ur the winner. thats jst dumb. theres only two more days until the winner is announced so whoever it is u better make yourself known haha. idt its a drawing since the rules said the first one to win gets it…it wud b great if they gave out things to like the first 10 ppl. :’(
Sorry to tell you all, I read all the rules and it will be awarded to the first person to finish, according to the world clock! If two finished then there will be a essay contest.. There is also a clause about no one winning if there is a conflict!!! I personally think the whole thing is rigged, SSomeone was logged on ON TIME, Unlike the rest of us and had the answers!! Somebodys kid! Oh well It was fun anyway!
It says on whatdrivesedward.com who the real winners are. Beth G. from Illinios, and Jeanette U. from Georgia. So all you people who are claiming you won are fake.
OMG I watched new moon a few days ago and Ive dreampt of Edward every night, now I wont say what was in my dream but it did involve biting lol, love the page btw.

I have a hard time believing you won. Why aren’t they publishing it on the site?
I haven’t seen any media spreading the news either.
Has anyone?
Is no one curious?
I deeply would like to know who truly won. Is there a link I can go to and see that there really has been a winner or winners?
I don’t really want to snail mail to Switzerland to find out.
Help?
