Factual error: Celestial navigation can determine one's position on the earth's surface to within about one mile, not precise enough to give the location of a buried treasure. It also requires more than a sextant. It requires tables published in a nautical almanac (which is updated each year), charts on which to plot lines of position, and an accurate chronometer that is set to the precise time at the Prime Meridian (Greenwich Mean Time).

Trivia: Angela Lansbury is the only actress to appear in all 264 episodes of the show.
Question: When we figure out at the end that Juan was Lloyd's killer, how come it didn't show a flashback of him stabbing Lloyd? Like the other scene where it shows Peter discovering his dead body and picks up the knife, and also at the end it shows Greta discovered his body too and turned his body around to look for the diamond, but didn't show Juan murdering him.
Answer: It may simply have been a matter of time, as this was a one-hour show. The murderer is always revealed at the end, though it is not necessary to show the actual murder. Also, at that that time, it may have been considered too graphic to show someone being stabbed on a family TV show.
