A Canadian man named Stephen Mills solved a mystery that's been unsolvable for dozens of years. Vermilion Heritage Museum in Vermilion, Canada has held this 2,000-pound safe that was donated in the 1990s. Plenty of people had tried to crack the safe but were left mistaken, until Mills visited the museum. It took him one try to break the code. He spun the dial 20-40-60, three times right, two times left, one time right. Inside the mystery safe was something other than the ordinary gold, money, and valuables you would expect to be inside. To the contrary, there were just a few papers from a waitress’s order book dated 1977, and a pay sheet for around $9.95 from 1978. Solving the mystery was easier than it seemed. Unfortunately for Stephen Mills there was no reward for opening the safe.
