UPDATE: Wyoming Riddler's puzzle solved

WYOMING, MI – Joe Cramer, a.k.a. The Wyoming Riddler, again hopes to generate awareness of carbon monoxide poisoning by running a treasure hunt.

The owner of an auto body detail shop on Clay Avenue SW is releasing his 32nd annual riddle:

"Hiding it was easy on my bicycle. However, when seeing it from your car at two and a half ton the solution would not be quite as easy. It's South of downtown but stop where I said."



Cramer each year hides a small, oval medallion about the size of a business card somewhere in the Grand Rapids area. The medallion is hidden on public property no higher than three feet above the ground. It might be obscured, but it is not completely buried.

The medallion is within walking distance of a bus stop, but not closer than 100 feet to any school, public building, mall or post office. The riddle can be deciphered using street names in a greater Grand Rapids road map. A full list of rules is here.

“As usual I spent a lot of time on this year's event,” Cramer said. “For 32 years folks have been picking my brain and I attempt to keep a few steps ahead them and bring them amusement as well as a good puzzle.”

Cramer plans to release clues every-other Tuesday until the riddle gets solved. If the riddle does not get solved by the end of February, the game is over and nobody wins.

If you find the medallion, bring it to Cramer’s shop at 5724 Clay Ave. SW to claim your reward. The winner’s prize includes a mug, dollar coins and assortment of silver items.
