A long time Piedmont client recently passed away, and during the reading of the will his family came into a bit of a shock. A teenage great-nephew had been included in the will, much to everyone's surprise. The bequest had been actually coded into the will, posed as a challenge to the "industriousness" of the young man:
Unfortunately the young gent remembers little adventure with his great-uncle, other than a few childhood summers at the family's beach cottage outside of Charleston, SC, and after months of brain-racking, has recalled nothing of the "superstition" referred to within. As a result, he's requested us to throw the puzzle open to all takers - if anything to allow himself to move on. So click on the image above to work on it yourself.
No one knows what the old man might have gone and done, whether he may have acted rashly (though as a friend of mine, I can vouch he was quite sound in mind), and there's not a resolute enough accounting of his investments over the years to know how significant a sum he may have squirreled away and buried in his backyard. Knowing him, it's games for growth, but if we're lucky we'll see, the prize to the finder.
