    Thinking about hiding a creative puzzle

    in General geocaching topics

    Posted

    Is this about right?

     

    You will have six sets of cords on the cache page. Also hidden is a Rubiks cube that will need to be solved to either tell which of the six is correct or to unlock the actual cache.

     

    If that's correct I think a lot of folks would ignore it for the simple reason that it isn't easy to solve a rubiks cube. I might be willing to search six different local places if I knew it was findable once I got there. But not if I couldn't tell if it wasn't there and not if it was locked.

     

    Here is what will happen: The cache is going to be called sometning like "Choose your own adventure with a 3D puzzle". The first stage will hold a couple Rubik's cubes. You get one cube per group, if there is a group that is doing it. If only one or two people are doing it, you still only get one cube. It will be mixed up, while almost every square will have a number on it. You have to solve the cube first. Then you will have the numbers which you will have to put in the right places in the next part. Here is an example.

     

    Anyway, like I said, you will have six different sets of coord's to choose from. Only one set of coord's will have a small container that is properly fastened to something. The container will have the code for the lock in it.

     

    This sounds unnecessarily confusing. I don't mind doing difficult puzzles for caches but the difficulty should not be because it's hard to understand.

     

    From the last sentence above it sounds like once you've solved the rubiks cube there are six possible locations where one could go to find the next "stage".

     

    There is a multi-cache near me that has two sets of coordinates in the first stage, only one of which is the final stage. I found the first stage about a year and a half ago, finally got to one of the coordinates from the from the first stage and guess wrong, and still haven't made it back to the other coordinate to look for the final stage.

     

    Since I found the first stage a couple of years ago there have only been 2 or 3 people to complete the cache. You can probably get how often yours will get found with six sets of coordinates.

     

     

    Okay now that is confusing :) I think you should go for it! Just not in san antonio *winkwink*
