Carry-on Items Mystery Cache

Team Yofa: This one has ran its course -- archiving.

Solution:

The hint "Rivest's breakfast" refers to Ron Rivest's "hash", specifically the MD5. Like any cryptographic hash algorithm, it's difficult to compute backwards. This puzzle was created by doing a little bit of that...

  • The hex value of MD5("ENZYME INACTIVATED") begins with 3739211
  • The hex value of MD5("SHOESTRINGS UNCOATED") beings with 12147750

Therefore, N37 39.211, W121 47.750
