Treasure island, puzzle help

[yiradati]

Looking for help understanding the puzzle with 6 buried skulls.

So I found all the skulls and noted down where all the black teeth were for all of them. And I think this should somehow be entered into the 6th skull.
But I don't know how to translate the black teeth's locations.
I've tried:
1. Black teeth where the other skulls don't have black teeth to "complete" the set
2. Invert that pattern (i.e. black teeth for all teeth that were black on any of the other skulls)
3. Starting with all white teeth, click the black teeth in order of the skulls, resetting to white in between.
4. Starting with all white teeth, click the black teeth in order of the skulls, without resetting. The final pattern will then be based on how many time a tooth was clicked.


I've taken all the clues and entered the final pattern they give, thus opening the chest. But I don't understand how they got there.

Here you go:
Look at the pattern of each skull. First row of teeth moves by one, so 1st skull has 1st and 3rd black teeth, 2nd has 2nd and 4th, 3rd has 3rd and 5th,... so it's basically x-th skull;x-th and x+2th teeth are black, so for the 6th skull for the first row of teeth you want to have 6th and 8th to be black

Second row of teeth just switches between middle-one and outer middle-ones, even numbers have outer-middle, odd numbers has the middle one, so for the 6th skull you want the outer-middle teeth to be black

Thank you! That makes sense. A bit harder than the other puzzles. Welcome change but had us stumped. Good on you for figuring it out.

Can anyone help me with a clue to where the chest is? I've followed directions and dug everywhere I can think of that matches with as far southwest as you can go, even going so far as to search the edge of the map underwater!

It's as far as you can go, so you'll be stopped by the middle mountain.

Thanks for the clarifying!
I think the whole island is harder than even DLCs.
