Drink and the devil had done for the rest,
Yo-ho-ho, and a bottle of rum!

The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike
The bosun brained with a marlinspike,

And cookey's throat was marked belike
It has been gripped by fingers ten.

Like break o'day in a boozing ken

Learn of a Mayan Inscription:

Let them answer all three beneath the serpents' gaze:
From south to white north, how many days?
From south to west, how many to count?
And from west to north, add what amount?
When 'twixt their arms the moon takes shape,
The dazzle of riches will leave all agape.

After Pepita explains the Mayan calendar, turn around and empty the Helmet full of fresh water into the green hole

Use the Damp sponge on the colored circle surrounding the water

You'll need to determine which direction is north, so disassemble the Bottle of rum to get a Cork

Combine the Cork + Magnetic needle to make a Compass

Put the Compass into the water and it will point to the left

Examine the white North symbol the needle is pointing at to identify it as 1 Flint, as shown in the upper-right corner of the screen. Mouse over to identify the other compass directions mentioned in the Mayan Inscription:

South = 1 Rain
West = 7 Monkey

Count how many times (Mayan days) you press the white button below the stone disks in order to produce the 7 Monkey (West) symbol:

Question	Direction	Number of days
1	South to North	39
2	South to West	32
3	West to North	7

The golden snake's head selects each of the three questions in the Mayan Inscription. For each question, one button of each color must be selected so that the three button values add up to the desired number of days. A little trial and error produces the following answers:

Question	Blue	White	Yellow	Total
1	19	9	11	39	& one other solution
2	1	17	14	32	& five other solutions
3	3	2	2	7

Save your game at this point

For the second Mayan puzzle, the colored buttons must be pressed the correct number of times to duplicate the Moon design on the back wall. Each button cycles one of the three balls through the three colors blue, white, purple, and also rotates one of the three concentric circular arcs clockwise 1/3 of a turn. Identifying the six colored buttons from the first-person player's perspective, the following operations are possible:

Button	Ball rotation			Arc rotation
	Lower left	Center	Upper right	Inner	Middle	Outer
Left Blue			X			X
Right Blue			X	X
Left White	X					X
Right White		X			X
Left Yellow		X		X
Right Yellow	X				X
Rotations needed:	0	2	0	0	0	2

Press Left White button twice
Press Right White button twice
Press Right Yellow button once

The endgame sequence plays and the credits roll
