The treasure chest full of "super bowl" loot
On January XXXI the Navigators and the Explorers went on a time warp adventure back to the days of ancient Rome. We were given a treasure chest full of “super bowls.” Each “super bowl” contained a treasury of rare ancient coins worth I, V, X, C and L cents! The task set before us was to figure out the secret code and translate Roman Numerals into Arabic Numerals. The task was not easy but amazingly the crew of the SS Seabury were able to unlock the code. We then made sure to come back in time to MMXIV in order to be back for Superbowl XLVIII.
