Your partner wants to test your Physics skills by playing a treasure hunt that will lead you to
your anniversary gift from them. They left this sole clue that would lead you to the surprise:
"Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure."
- Rumi.
I know you've been wanting to practice your Physics so I chose something that might help
you. Use these clues to find your gift.
Hint:
Grab your phone and open your compass. Go to the park entrance and face the north
direction.
Then, walk straight ahead towards the first bench you see, about 76 meters from the
Face east then turn as you count about 15° degrees towards the north direction and you'll
see a tree with a birdhouse near the bank of the river, just about 340 meters from the
bench. Go there.
As you turn to your left, walk along the side of the river until you reach the gazebo, about
843 meters.
