▼ Do you fancy yourself a puzzler? A code breaker? A cunning linguist? Your services may be required in France.
A village in northwest France has offered a reward of 2,000 euros ($2,240) for anyone who can decrypt the series of letters and symbols chiseled into a boulder near town.
Located on a beach near the village of Plougastel-Daoulas, Brittany, and only visible at low tide, the stone was rediscovered three or four years ago but is believed to have been inscribed more than 200 years before. According to the French news site AFP.com, one side of the rock is completely adorned in jumbled capital letters; symbols including a picture of a sailboat and a heart; and the dates 1786 and 1787.
