This make a me think of the one video where we got the ship wake letters, the princess said 90 degrees or something

Yes, I think this probably has to do either with the letters spelled out on the ocean - 'pgpg' - or something to do with the numbers on the ship's steering wheel!

(Conveniently, we do know what those numbers are, now.)

Are all the ships on the ocean spelling out "pgpg" goblin ships, or is one of them the RPR ship? Could the 90 degree turn describe a letter? Though there are no 90 degree angles in any of the letters that we know of...

Could just refer to the number on her steering wheel once the turn is completed - looks like it's either 300 or 310 to me.

Probably doesn't mean anything..but..course could be like, learning? Like taking a course in school. Though, that would more refer to that other puzzle that say something about the library..

I'm guessing that this has something to do with the numbers on the ship's steering wheel. Assuming that the numbers they've figured out in the language/code thread are correct, they seem to go something like this near the end of the video:

260 270 280 290 300 310 320 330

Looking back at how the video goes, the wheel starts at 0 and goes to 90 degrees starboard, leaving us at around 310 for the rest of the clip, which is more like 50 degrees than 90. So maybe the number 50 has something to do with the riddle?

The Wicked Scorpion's first clue is: On the high seas

The Wicked Scorpion's second clue is: A turn of the wheel

The Wicked Scorpion's third clue is: A new course

This seems way more straightforward than it actually is...

Something to do with the wheel of the ship in the video?

Can someone tell me what all we have so far on this?

This one hasn't been discussed too much yet

In the past few posts some ideas were put forth!

Ok, I think I'll lurk around then and see what others think...maybe share an idea or two of my own~

I don't know that we've tried too many guesses on this one, tbh! Alpha and Beta have been thorns in our side.

290
300
310
260 270 280 290 300 310 320 330
50

Tried all the above, no luck.

It was right between 300 and 310 at 305! c8

Hahaa! Fantastic!

YEAH! Teamwork again! Good work all!

Ah! That makes sense, the wheel was between 300 and 310, wasn't it? Good catch there!
