TOPIC: Deciphering the Relic Fragment Riddle

Before this post, I was actually thinking you might mean the baseball field next to the convention as that field is only ever used for one thing. That being said, I've never heard a ball diamond called a cornfield even though there are "cans of corn" there.

Is this whole thing just based on Druegar's love for the movie "Field of Dreams", and he IS talking about that baseball field? That used to be a cornfield?

I can see the news report now. 17 Gen Con attendees were arrested for digging up Victory Field Friday night night in an attempt to solve a riddle and earn 'Pogs'.

That could be a really good movie with a great father son moment at the end or a lot of hillbilly home videos... you decide.

I am familiar with crop rotation as a concept, though not with the specifics. Which is why the cornfield in questions was chosen because it is only ever used as a corn field. Why doesn't this particular farmer rotate? You'd have to ask them.

Please say this should have been written in teal...

'The Morrow Plots occupy a central position on the campus of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign ... The two northernmost plots have been continuously planted in maize (corn) since 1876.'
