Come along on a climatology adventure! You’ll be an investigative reporter for the local weather station GE-0. There is a little bit of a research, a little bit of detective work and an easy final report, which is reporting your "found" log at the end. Help keep locals informed of the current temperature and support GE-0 by claiming your smiley today! Research: A: The hottest place in the United States is: Barrow, Alaska (0) Alamosa, Colorado (1) Furnace Creek, Death Valley, California (2) Houston, Texas (3)
B: Convection is: Formal declaration that someone is guilty of a criminal offense (0) An agreement between countries covering a particular weather matter (1) Heated disagreement (2) A flow of fluid in which hotter material rises and colder material sinks (3)
C: The hottest and youngest stars are: Red (9) Blue (7) White (5) Yellow (3)
D: Boiling point is: The temperature at which a substance transitions from a solid to a liquid (4) The temperature at which a substance transitions from a liquid to a gas (6) The temperature at which a substance transitions from a gas to a vapor (8) The temperature at which you’ll be critically injured touching the substance (0)
Investigate at the local community siren system (Waypoint #1). Answers for E, F, G and H can be found at the pole located at Waypoint #1. E: The LOWER box has a warning sticker on its top right corner. The first word after "Warning" is: Danger (5) Service (1) Authorized (2) Batteries (3) Temperature (4)
F: The UPPER box has a warning sticker on its lower right corner, with three hazards listed. The 3rd hazard listed is: High Voltage (2) High Temperature (4) Toxic Chemical (6) Electric Shock (8)
G: There is an animal listed at Waypoint #1, about 4' up. Is it a: Eagle (7) Fox (2) Bear (5) Marmot (0)
H: There are letters and a number burnt into the pole. Reading from top to the bottom, there is a symbol that looks like a “<” followed by the letters “PM” then two letters, followed by a number. Take the value of the first letter, then subtract the value of the 2nd letter, then subtract the number. Assume A=1, B=2, C=3 and so forth. Your calculation should result in a 1-digit number. For example, if the two letters are RK, followed by a 2, the answer would be 18 - 11 -2 = 5
The final waypoint is at N 39° 4A.BCD W 104° 5E.FGH You may use the certitude checker below to verify your final calculated coordinates.
Final Report: Find your way to calculated final waypoint. Search for the container which holds the scientific log sheet, which you’ll need to sign for credit. It is optional but highly encouraged to record the current reading on the weather monitoring device in your typed online report, which is your "found" log.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
