I LOVE ICE CREAM CONES!!
An ice cream cone is a dry, cone-shaped pastry usually made of a wafer similar in texture to a waffle, which enables ice cream to be held in the hand and eaten without a bowl or spoon. Various types of ice cream cones include wafer (or cake) cones, waffle cones, and sugar cones.
Many styles of cones are made, including pretzel cones and chocolate-coated cones. Wafer cones are sometimes made with a flat bottom instead of a pointed, conical shape, enabling the ice cream and "cone" to stand upright on a surface without support.
Edible cones were mentioned in French cooking books as early as 1825, when Julien Archambault described how one could roll a cone from "little waffles". Edible cones were patented by two Italian entrepreneurs. Antonio Valvona, an ice cream merchant from Manchester, UK, patented a biscuit cup producing machine in 1902, and in 1903, Italo Marchioni, an Italian ice cream salesman, filed for the patent of a machine which made ice cream containers.
Just solve this puzzle to find the prize. And keep in mind that 2020 is a LEAP YEAR. That extra day to exercise means an extra day having an ICE CREAM CONE!!
Cache Puzzle
In what year did concessionaire Arnold Fornachou, while running an ice cream booth at the St. Louis World’s Fair, roll some waffles he purchased from a waffle vendor he was next to and roll the waffles into cones to hold the ice cream? The answer to this question is NNNN.
In what year did Frederick Bruckman, an inventor from Portland, Oregon, patent a machine for rolling ice cream cones? The answer to this question is WWWW.
Now, subtract 1253 from NNNN, then divide the answer by 1,000, and finally, subtract this value from the Posted North Coordinates to determine the Final North Coordinates.
Likewise, subtract 1196 from WWWW, then divide the answer by 1,000, and finally, subtract this value from the Posted West Coordinates to determine the Final West Coordinates.
