I don't remember much about electronics from my physics class in college, therefore I am having trouble solving the resistor puzzle in the GC I am obsessing over. However, I DO NOT WANT ANY CLUES from anyone on the Forums. I do know Seattle though, used to live on Tiger Mountain above Issaquah (before geocaching).

Hey guys, lighten up. This was my first forum post. I was not asking for the puzzle solution, just a little direction, it's been a really long time since undergrad physics... This is just a fun, outdoorsy, adventure game, right?

Yes, but don't you think many cache-owners themselves "let the cat out of the bag" by their cache titles?

I was able to deduce that the pretty colors stand for something. Why does posting the GC# give away the soltn to the puzzles, especially if resistor puzzle caches do not always use the same solving format? Thanks

I'm familiar with resistor codes, but never saw a cache puzzle based on them. Interesting idea. Could you provide a GC#, or even better a link to it? I've done two puzzle caches based on resistor colors but am reluctant to post a GC# as that would effectively give away the solution to the puzzles. I think the cat's already out of the bag on this one. I wouldn't have thought these sort of puzzles would be particularly difficult in any case. Have trained in electronics I'd know the method as soon a I saw it (although I've forgotten the rude acrostic for remembering the code) but even without the foreknowledge I would have thought most people would be able to deduce that the pretty colurs on a resistor stood for something.

Hi, here is the GC code for the one I am hoping to solve..GC2PVZA Thanks for your input

I'm familiar with resistor codes, but never saw a cache puzzle based on them. Interesting idea. Could you provide a GC#, or even better a link to it? Doing a search from the Hide & Seek page using either "resistor" or "resistance" worked pretty good for me. (You will get to see just how many caches are named "Resistance is futile". ) But not all the "resistor" or "resistance" puzzle or multicaches use the same solving format.

I have a puzzle cache on my radar, with a picture of resistors, I do not have a clue how to solve this type of puzzle. Any help for a newbie?
