Just to piggyback on what Markwell said...
Tracyo, nothing was directed at you so don't take any of it personally and welcome to the forums!
Part of the fun of Geocaching is the journey. The same thing can be said about puzzle caches. Part of the fun is discovering the solution. Just because a puzzle is common or easy doesn't give anyone else to right to rob others of the joy of discovery. It's okay to ask for guidance if you are having trouble with a puzzle cache but posting the solution in the forum robs others of the joy of discovery and is highly discouraged.

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 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?
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

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 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).
