You are about to leave work when the phone rings.<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/phone3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"435\" height=\"290\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The editor from WaterRocks Publishing House is calling to talk with you about your Aunt Darcy. Two weeks ago, Aunt Darcy was in a car accident. She remains in the hospital with amnesia and is unable to remember a number of details from prior to the accident. The doctor assures everyone she will recover her memory, yet how soon she will do so is unclear.<\/p>\n<p>Aunt Darcy is your favorite relative. She is also a world-renowned hydrogeologist who has spent decades traveling around the world conducting groundwater studies and advising communities and governments on their groundwater resources. The <a href=\"https:\/\/siwi.org\/stockholm-water-prize\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Stockholm Water Prize<\/a> Awards Committee has selected Aunt Darcy to be honored for her years of hard work during this year&#039;s annual <a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldwaterday.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">World Water Day <\/a>celebration. Release of Aunt Darcy\u2019s new book &#8211; the one the publisher is calling about &#8211; has been scheduled to occur concurrently with the award.<\/p>\n<p>You know that Aunt Darcy keeps all of her files on an encrypted desktop computer in her home-office. Many times, you have suggested she should keep a back-up of her files in the cloud and allow a second user to access them. She has refused, telling you with a wink that her expertise is in ground and surface water, she doesn\u2019t trust water in the atmosphere. She then added that she has an emergency plan in case anyone needed to access her research. When you asked for more details, she responded &#8220;<strong><em>the mystery is solved by starting with her favorite well<\/em>.<\/strong>\" At that point in the conversation, you decided it was not worth the argument and changed the topic.<\/p>\n<p>But thinking about it now, you wonder if there was something more to her comment. As a child, you would spend summer vacations at her house in the country. The two of you would read Sherlock Holmes mystery novels together, analyzing the details to find the hidden meaning and messages. Maybe there are clues at her house that could help you figure out the password.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0It is a good thing it is Friday and you can afford to escape town for a bit. You cancel your weekend plans, pack a bag, and head out to investigate.\u00a0 Once you arrive at Aunt Darcy&#039;s house, you head directly to her office.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><section class=\"kc-elm kc-css-133161 kc_row\"><div class=\"kc-row-container  kc-container\"><div class=\"kc-wrap-columns\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-775506 kc_col-sm-4 kc_column kc_col-sm-4\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\">\n<div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-724602 kc-animated kc-animate-eff-pulse\">\n\t<a class=\"kc_button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/?page_id=2953\" target=\"_self\" title=\"Aunt Darcy\u2019s Office\" onclick=\"\">\n\t\tGo to Aunt Darcy:apos:s Office\t<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-81899 kc_col-sm-8 kc_column kc_col-sm-8\"><div class=\"kc-col-container\"><div class=\"kc-elm kc-css-361096 kc_shortcode kc_single_image\">\n\n        <img src=\"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/03\/pers-2.png\" class=\"\" alt=\"\" \/>    <\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"parent":2948,"menu_order":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"featured_image_src":null,"featured_image_src_square":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2951"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2951"}],"version-history":[{"count":45,"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2951\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4367,"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2951\/revisions\/4367"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2948"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.iwra.org\/groundwater-puzzle-game\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2951"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
