Superchucklez Presents;

The Adventures of the Dancing Man

This Style was one of the Mystery Caches I wanted to a similiar Dancing Men code for you. Additionally, I wanted to include some more information about its history.

This container is large enough for a trackable and some swag.

The Dancing Men script is a secret alphabet used by a gang of American criminals in the Sherlock Holmes short story "The Adventure of the Dancing Men"

Spoiler; Holmes decodes this cypher just in time to save a young woman's life

The script is a substitution cypher in which each letter of the alphabet is substituted for a picture of a dancing man.

Information about the script within the story is limited, and it appears that there is no connection between the postures of the men and the letters they stand for In the original illustrations few of the symbols are consistent from one message to another. A small oversight that fans could not just accept.

Seventeen of the symbols are documented in the story and scholars have puzzled over the remaining symbols for many years. A Danish scholar, Aage Rieck Sørensen, discovered a hidden pattern in the script, although while some symbols had to be revised to fit the pattern.

Now onto the Puzzle

The posted coordinates are bogus, you will need to translate the dancing men for the location of the cache

Good luck out there and bring your own pen just in case, please.

Stay safe on the roads. 

Remember below is a similar way to write up the cords

Example - Nxx°xx.xxx Wxx°xx.xxx or Nxx xx.xxx Wxx xx.xxx
