The cache is not at the listed coordinates. No need to disturb the mules or waste your time. Instead, you must unravel Martin’s Puzzle to uncover the true location.
------
Many centuries ago, Martin, an obscure son of a mighty Roman Emperor, struggled through his lessons. He loathed school. Reading was tedious, writing was a chore, and numbers? Numbers were his nemesis. Their strange symbols and rigid sequences twisted his mind into knots.
Fearing his son might never rule with wisdom, the Emperor spared no expense, hiring a brilliant tutor to guide young Martin’s education. This tutor was no ordinary scholar—he made learning an adventure, a game, something Martin could enjoy rather than fear. Under his guidance, the boy’s mind flourished.
One day, the tutor crafted an elaborate orienteering challenge, cleverly disguised as a lesson in navigation and numbers. Martin tried to follow instructions carefully, but, well… old habits die hard. He jumbled the order of the numbers—again.
Now, it falls to you, modern plebeians, to decipher his muddled numerals and uncover the cache. Can you make sense of Martin’s mix-up? The fate of your find depends on it.
