  Here's 4: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2BGioksxQiRc2hpTDJ1SVhPUU0 https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/0B2BGioksxQiRc2hpTDJ1... Looks like caves.jpg has something wrong with it, but I'm not sure what to do with it.

    Interesting: the author of the image is "Pei Xiu" Pei Xiu (224–271)... was a minister, geographer, and cartographer of the state of Cao Wei during the Three Kingdoms period of Chinese history https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pei_Xiu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pei_Xiu

    its not showing the best here but > and < are pointing into #1 in top left and away from 9 bottom right maybe a clue? Pei Xiu outlined six principles that should be observed when creating a map. He then defended his position and each of the six principles with a short explanation as to how they provide better accuracy in map-making and cartography. The first three principles outlined the use of scale (fan lu), direction (zhunwang), and road distance (daoli), while the last three principles are used to properly calculate distances on uneven terrain as represented on a flat, two dimensional map

  should we count the numbers or something ?
