Puzzle #2:

The Poem from Romeo & Juliet.

Puzzle #2 is 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.

Much like the 2nd puzzle, just drag the features of the Volvo XC60 to the list box on the side in order. The order is how people ranked them, viewable here: http://www.volvocars.com/us/models/xc60/Pages/default.aspx

The order is as follows:

  1. City Safety
  2. Blind Spot Information System
  3. Panoramic Roof
  4. Rear Park Assist Camera
  5. Storage Capacity
  6. DNA Lamps
  7. Rear Seat Entertainment
  8. Whiplash Protection System

Puzzle #6:

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.
