Wilhelm Conrad Roentgen, whom in 1895 discovered x-rays quite by accident when experimenting with vacuum tubes. The German scientist took an X-ray photograph of his wife's hand which clearly revealed her wedding ring and her bones. The photograph electrified the general public and aroused great scientific interest in the new form of radiation, which Roentgen called "X" to indicate it was an unknown type of radiation and the name stuck. 44 09.863

The coolest of all things "x-ray" would have to be possessing X-Ray Vision. Like Superman's ability to see through walls to see the bad guys, or seeing through Lois Lane's dress to determine the colour of her underwear in the 1978 "Superman, The Movie".I can only imagine the run on "X-Ray Vision Glasses" sold on the back of comic magazines after it's release.076 48.160

Using your caching x-ray vision, which is something all geocachers can do with practice and determination - you should be able to see right through this page to discover the coords that will lead you to the final.

Good luck, play safe, bring a writing stick and have fun...
