Mailbox Bomber Pattern

[+BT5]

(CNN) -- Accused mailbox bomber Lucas Helder told authorities he was planting pipe bombs in a pattern to show a happy face during his five-state weekend spree.

The creepy thing is, this occurred to me as an idea for a multicache once (the smiley face, not the bombings). Worcester, Mass is supposedly the home of the smiley face , from the 60's or something... The multicache would be at least 7 stages, I guess. I was undecided on whether to keep the last spot (ie, the left eye) a mystery and have people try to calculate where it would be.

 

Are there any other multicaches out there that make the searchers trace out a big shape?

Thumbs up for the smiley face. I had a good laugh when I read about this. I can't help but be intrigued by someone who would think of this then follow through. If he had a GPS, it would not be difficult to lay out the circles and arc.

I don't think he was one of us. His eyes were way to uneven to be plotted on a gps.

Bizarre . . . but true.

Wasn't that bomber guy in ART SCHOOL?

Maybe he was failing and he wanted to show his prof. that he could draw. I'd still fail him.
