Read on to solve the puzzle.
Ole, the stubborn Norwegian that he was, never trusted banks and hid his valuables so that no one would take them. The only problem was, that he could never remember where he hid is treasures.
He wrote himself a message in code to help him remember where he put it.
I came across some old papers one day while searching in my grandmother’s attic and this is what I found:
NFRNFNNLNUUOIEIIWIFTLTRRTTRENERLATERRESUMESKHTEEETLENJK
I was able to decode the message by using the number that was stamped on the metal tag. I was then able to find Ole’s hidden treasure. Can you find it too?
