HISTORY OF DOMINOES

Dominoes evolved from dice, the numbers on a standard domino set representing all the rolls of two six-sided dice.

Dominoes are believed to have originated in China in the 12th century, although the oldest known domino set was found in Tutankhamen's tomb. Dominoes appeared in Italy in the early eighteenth century, and then subsequently spread to the rest of Europe.

The name "domino" is from the tiles' resemblance to Venetian Carnival masks known as domini, which were white with black spots. These masks were named because they resembled French priests' winter hoods, being black on the outside and white on the inside. The name ultimately derives from the Latin word dominus, meaning "lord" or "master".

There are many ways to play dominoes, but the common rule is that the sides of adjacent tiles must match. The winner is the player who gets rid of all his tiles first.

The actual coordinates of the cache are hidden in this odd game of dominoes. Good luck in finding them.
