Information:

Black and white (colours)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The two-colour combination 'black and white' occurs widely both in nature and in the human-created world. The abundance of black-and-white animals is probably due to the camouflage effects of the colour combination and also its implication that the animal is poisonous and therefore dangerous if attacked. The use of the combination in man-made objects and symbols may be due to the simple fact that the heavy contrast between black and white allows any image drawn in one of these colours to stand out strongly from a background of the other. More symbolically, the combination also has connotations of two opposites being brought together to make one whole, or of diversity.

Directions:

This is a mystery box and you have to solve a quick little puzzle to figure out the location. The box is only available at certain times - so you need to figure out the location and then find the times that the box would be available. Also this location is a fee area so check that out as well.
