Puzzled

Puzzled Each year during IAP, MIT has its annual mystery hunt, and teams from all over come to MIT to compete to solve insane brain teasers with hopes to find a coin hidden somewhere on MITs campus typically over the course of one weekend. Freshman year, some friends and I decided to participate, and we had a blast. Weve been participating ever since then, and this were even already getting ready for next years contest. As part of our summer training, weve been coming up with our own puzzles to prepare one another. This is the one I came up with. Ill be posting puzzles created by the entire team every so often for you all to try, and then a couple days later, Ill post the solution. Maybe you can join our team remotely next IAP. Come and Ride It Lost in the jungle, Joe is befriended by a group of warrior women with a quiver of arrows. They give Joe this series of directions to follow to find the train home.
