As many cachers around Moncton know, I am not a fan of doing
puzzle caches. They are not something I am very good at so I
typically skip them unless they are really easy, or someone else
gives me the final coordinates. This cache is my answer to the many
puzzle caches I have not been able to solve on my own.
Unlike other puzzles, this puzzle is not about figuring out the
final coordinates, but merely how to see them on this cache page.
1973 is the name of the cache but it could have also been named
1684, 73 after 19 or even 19:73. They all refer to the same thing.
How to see the final coordinates. Can you figure it out?
Here are some notable events from 1973 according to
Wikipedia:
- Roe v. Wade: The U.S. Supreme Court overturns state bans on
abortion.
- Toronto: Construction on the CN Tower begins.
- Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom opens the modern
London Bridge.
- Federal Express officially begins operations, with the launch
of 14 small aircraft from Memphis International Airport. On that
night, Federal Express delivers 186 packages to 25 U.S. cities from
Rochester, New York, to Miami, Florida.
- The Sears Tower in Chicago is finished, becoming the world's
tallest building.
- A patent for the ATM is granted to Donald Wetzel, Tom Barnes
and George Chastain.
- Former White House aide Alexander Butterfield informs the
United States Senate Watergate Committee that President Richard
Nixon had secretly recorded potentially incriminating
conversations.
- The film American Graffiti is released.
- Soyuz 12, the first Soviet manned flight since the Soyuz 11
tragedy in 1971, is launched.
- The United Nations recognizes the independence of
Guinea-Bissau.
- Egypt and Israel sign a United States-sponsored cease-fire
accord.
- Matthew George Stephen Klem is born in Edmonton, Alberta,
Canada.
With all that information, you would hope that it would help you
solve the puzzle. I cannot guarantee that to be the case
