Puzzles? Somebody else likes puzzles?
Oh yeah, baby. I like puzzles. Geocache puzzles or otherwise. For geocache puzzles I like 'em easy and I 'em tough. I prefer ones where when you get the answer, you know it is right immediately, either because it is obvious, or because you have a checksum. I prefer ones where the hide isn't cammoed to death, because my enjoyment is in the solving, and the journey, not a 45 minute search in some bushes. But that's just me.
I think its great that people put so much time into making the puzzles for so few people that actually find them. I just found Devhead's "You Will Wish You Had Wings" and it looks like it gets visited only 6 times/year.
I found five TT puzzles in one day last weekend, which I was pretty pleased with, but there are still some that elude me. Of about 19 of his that I know of that are around here, I think I've cracked 10 of them. (By the way, Duncan's "TT's San Diego Puzzle Caches" bookmark list is missing "Yada Yada" and "Somewhere in San Diego")
I'm starting to make progress on your puzzles now, Team Adelos! Five found so far. Another 10+ solved and waiting for my 1st puzzle valley trip. Good stuff!
I've found a lot of Duncan's puzzles, also good stuff! The last few should fall shortly! International Dog and Bone was fun. I've had a good time solving Dr. Boggis's puzzles, Devhead's puzzles, Look Over There's puzzles, Polar Bear's puzzles, and most everyone elses. Given that this is essentially a self-regulated venture it's a little surprising that more of the puzzles aren't dumb or poorly designed.
Not everyone likes puzzles, though. That's fine. It's cool that geocaching has enough elements to appeal to different types of people.
