Puzzle 25 Solution

Firstly you might note that the 11 blurry pieces really come from the tomb itself. For convenience's sake, we shall denote the pieces from left to right, and top to bottom as piece 1 to piece 11.

With a sharp eye, you might be able to spot where the 11 pieces belong to in the tomb:








Now that you have identified the 11 pieces, you note the corresponding number of the square which each of the pieces lie in. For instance, piece 1 lie in square 9.

Compiling the numbers in order, you get: 9, 14, 1, 14, 21, 2, 9, 19, 5, 1, 18.

If you are quick enough you might note that the total number of squares is 26, which corresponds to the number of the alphabets. Decoding the set of numbers which you have just obtained in the manner: 1 = A, 2 = B, ... you get: IN ANUBIS' EAR

A quick online check will tell you that Anubis was the name given to a peculiar Egyptian dog, particularly the one you see in square 10. Hence, the decoded puzzle tells us that the EverStone is hidden in the ear of this dog, and thus the gem lies in grid 10.

Answer: 10
