| By clue 7, Captain Dredd was either the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd pirate to possess
the Treasure of the Golden Galleon. If Capt. Dredd were the 1st to hold it,
Goat's Beard Island would have been the 2nd place it was buried and the
captain of the Pursuer would have been the 3rd to hold it (clue 7).
Since the captain of the Pursuer wasn't Wm Quid (1), by clue 5, Captain
Wm Quid would have been the 4th pirate and the captain of the Devil's Work
the 5th to have the treasure in his hands. By clue 10, Captain Flint wasn't
the pirate who buried the treasure on Goat's Beard island; by clue 2, then,
he would have been the 3rd to hold it, with Captain Wm Quid then burying it
on Skull Island. By clue 11, Captain Jack Smack would have been 2nd and
Captain Roberts 5th to have the treasure in his possession, with Quid then
the captain of the Silence (3). Neither Flint (4) nor Roberts (12) would have buried
the Treasure of the Golden Galleon on Ile de Morte, so Dredd would have--but
the treasure wasn't buried there 1st (8). So, Captain Dredd wasn't 1st to
possess the treasure. If Capt. Dredd were the 2nd to hold it, Goat's Beard
Island would have been the 3rd place it was buried and the captain of the
Pursuer would have been the 4th to hold it (7). Since the captain of the
Pursuer wasn't Wm Quid (1), by clue 5, Captain Wm Quid would have been the 1st
pirate and Dredd as captain of the Devil's Work the 2nd to have the treasure
in his hands. By clue 10, Captain Flint wasn't the pirate who buried the
treasure on Goat's Beard island; by clue 2, then, he would have been the 4th
to hold it, with the captain who buried it on Skull Island the 5th. However,
there is no way for clue 3 to work given this arrangement. So, Captain
Dredd wasn't 2nd to possess the treasure and was 3rd. Goat's Beard Island
was the 4th place it was buried and the captain of the Pursuer was the 5th
to hold it (7). By clue 5, Captain Wm Quid was 1st or 2nd to possess the
hoard; while by clues 2 and 10, Captain Flint was also 1st or 2nd. Trying
Flint 1st and Quid 2nd to hold the treasure, Quid would have buried the
treasure on Skull island (2) and the Devil's Work would have been Captain
Dredd's ship (5). By clue 3, the captain of Silence would have been the
4th and Captain Roberts the 5th to have the hoard. However, there is no
way for clue 6 to work given this arrangement. Therefore, Captain Quid was
1st and Captain Flint 2nd to hold the Treasure of the Golden Galleon.
Then the Devil's Work was Flint's vessel (5), and Dredd buried the treasure
on Skull Island (2). Since the captain of the Pursuer didn't bury the
hoard on Ile de Morte (4), by clue 8, Captain Flint did; and the Bonny Maid
was Wm Quid's ship. By clue 6, the captain who buried the treasure on Goat's
Beard Island sailed on the Grey Ghost. By elimination, Captain Dredd was
master of the Silence; and Captain Roberts commanded the Grey Ghost (3).
By elimination, Captain Jack Smack was last to bury the treasure--on Hook
Island (9), with Isla San Pedro the 1st place the Treasure of the Golden
Galleon was hidden. In sum, the treasure was hidden by the pirate captains
as follows:
- 1st -- Captain Wm Quid, the Bonny Maid, Isla San Pedro
- 2nd -- Captain Flint, the Devil's Work, Ile de Morte
- 3rd -- Captain Dredd, the Silence, Skull Island
- 4th -- Captain Roberts, the Grey Ghost, Goat's Beard Island
- 5th -- Captain Jack Smack, the Pursuer, Hook Island
