Snake
& Charmer - Fields of Pain
In the late
70's I was an inmate/pupil at Rushden Boys School. A delightful
establishment that turned out young men of 'character'. Part of the
process involved the ritual humiliation of those inmates who were
either not interested or particularly good at sports (I qualified
on both counts). Failure to excel on the sporting field was
interpreted by the sports 'masters' as tantamount to treason and
was punished without mercy - Cold showers etc. (I still get goose
bumps thinking about it, BRrrrrrr!).
The published
coordinates are bogus, although they do highlight the area where I
spent many unhappy hours running around chasing various shaped
balls, throwing javelins, jumping hurdles and generally failing at
everything I was told to do. I am pleased to see the changing rooms
have been demolished - perhaps in a few more years the memories
will fade - if not the scars.
To get my
revenge on these ghosts I am setting a simple puzzle cache that
would totally fox the tormentors of my past. In the 70's sports
teachers weren't known for their intelligence. Something that I am
sure is different today.
Now on to
the cache.
Below is a
sequence. Work out the next line. Assign each digit of your new
line a letter starting from the left, 'A' for the first digit, 'B'
for the second digit etc.
Substitute
into the following:
N52
1(A+D+N).0(B+F+M)(C+E+J)
W0
3(F+L+M).(DxJ)(LxM)(A+J)
1
11
21
1211
111221
312211
13112221
1113213211
what is the
next line?
Congratulations to Morn & Angus
