As a child, I was always a little bit of a “Geek.” My spare time
was spent working puzzles and brain teasers. This was “Fun” to me.
Of course I always got chided by my fellow students. It’s kind of
funny when I think back to those days. I remember a specific day,
one that gave me a challenge unlike any I’ve ever seen before or
since. This was the day my chemistry teacher decided to show me
just how un-intelligent I was. She challenged me to a riddle. Of
course I readily accepted because I hadn’t been beat yet. She also
added a special challenge…. I was to never attempt another brain
teaser again until I solved her riddle. I figured “Not a big deal,”
and accepted her challenge. She started a chant and began rolling
dice. It went as follows: The game is the name of the game, and the
name of the game is “Polar Bears Around the Ice Hole.” As in the
days of King Arthur, and like the petals around the rose. How many
“Polar Bears” do you see? She rolled the dice over and over and
each time spouted out her “count” of polar bears. I however could
not make sense of these numbers as she saw them. I would count 10
or 12 spots and she would “see” 0 “Polar bears”. I would count 20
and she would “see” 8. One day, I ran into her and she questioned
me about the riddle. I explained to her that I had finally solved
it and began to explain the simple answer. Once I gave her the
solution, she asked me to spread this riddle around as it is the
tradition of the members of the “Polar Bear Club.” (No affiliation
to the weirdoes who jump into freezing water in the middle of the
winter just for the fun of it.) The following is several rolls of
dice that combined with simple algebra will give you the
coordinates to my new cache. It’s kind of like a two-for-one. Find
a new cache and become a “Polar Bear.” Just remember this is a lot
easier than you will make it! > > >
