Week 20 – Challenge 4 – Carafe

Challenge page : http://www.ancientsocieties.com/carafe/

No Challenge text but a picture of a Carafe with a strange formula on it :

or [(37.713-122.386) – (5.08cm) – (70+61+72+6B)] + [1400AM ∈ (41.41 – 75.66)]

This formula has many parts :

(37.713-122.386) are GPS coordinates for CANDLESTICK PARK
(5.08cm) is 2 inches or a STICK http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stick_%28unit%29
(70+61+72+6B) are HEX ASCII codes for the letters P A R K
1400AM ∈ (41.41 – 75.66) means 1400AM element of (41.41 – 75.66)
(41.41 – 75.66) is GPS coordinates for Scranton Pennsylvania and 1400AM is the radio frequency of WICK radio in Scranton

So we have : [(CANDLESTICK PARK)-(STICK)- (PARK)] + [WICK]

Let’s solve this equation …
[(CANDLESTICK PARK)-(STICK)- (PARK)] + [WICK]
[(CANDLESTICK PARK)-(STICK)- (PARK)] + [WICK]
[(CANDLE PARK)- (PARK)] + [WICK]
[(CANDLE PARK)- (PARK)] + [WICK]
[CANDLE] + [WICK]

The solution is candlewick
