Our Puzzler, Erno, was born in
Budapest, Hungary during World War II. His mother was a poet, his
father an aircraft engineer who started a company to build gliders.
Erno studied sculpture at a small college called the Academy of
Applied Arts and Design. He remained there after his studies to
teach interior design.
It took Erno a month to solve the
puzzle he invented, but a sixteen-year-old high school student
figured it out in 22.95 seconds. How long will it take you to
decipher Erno’s Enigma?
As the first stage of the cache is
in a cemetary, please have respect for the area. Please do not
cache at night or when the cemetary is closed. The cache is not
located in close proximity to any graves.
