OwlCacher

Well you need to choose someone to adopt this cache. After you do so, you can create the cache and go to http://www.geocaching.com/adopt/ However, if you want this cache to be under your account, you can just ask a cacher to mantain it, and post in the description and the reviewer note section about it. Otherwise, it would just be faster to have the mantainer submit the cache himself.

For those who missed out, there are now additional coins avaliable. The copper sold out (quicker than the additional phone coins ) but the silver is still avaliable. I am currently writing solutions for the site. If you have any solutions that you think are very quick and effective than the solutions you think we were expecting, go ahead and send them in, and if we like them we may put them up.

A little north of here, we have the concept of FTDNF. It's exactly what it sounds like.

Sounds cool! My address is listed.

The owner appears to be active in geocaching, so you can email him and ask for it. He would be able to look it up for you. If he asks you to prove you have it you can show him a photograph of the number and the coin.

Yes, I have personally seen one a conundrumcoin marketed as "sold out" when there were over 50 left in stock. I don't know if you were the one who contacted them, or whether they noticed on their own, but they took the auction down. I am hoping other people noticed as nobody had bid on it. However, now that I see only 10 coins left in stock, I am expecting to see it back on ebay quite soon.

I am sorry it did not work out, and you will be able to see the puzzles in 1-2 weeks. We are considering doing something like this again, hopefull it will turn out better.

I first heard about geocaching from dimkasmir, as we were walking through Golden Gate Park. He pointed to a box hanging from a tree and asked "is that a geocache?" At that point, he attempted to explain to me what it was, though neither of us really understood it back then. Unfortunately, the object turned out to be a birdfeeder. On our way out of the park, we saw a woman searching through the bushes, and it was my turn to say "maybe she's geocaching!" About a year later, I somehow come across to this website, and am amazed at the number of caches in my area. After DNFing a few alone, I call dimkasmir, and we go back to the park, in an attempt to find 4. We find all of them, including one in that same bush in which we saw the lady looking...

I've got an OakBuck- a cointest win. And my report card saying that I got 98% on my math final. I knew writing ConundrumCoin puzzles instead of studying was a good idea .

I am happy to announce the 25 recipients of the solved coins! 1. coreynjoey 2. tsunrisebey 3. jimbexleyspeed 4. Sue-Cat 5. LowGrey 6. LibertyBelle 7. Clamm 8. Doobies 9. Scrabblehounds 10. Bluemotmot 11. joetony 12. pacholik 13. davideos 14. derschlings 15. desert georangers 16. Jake- Team AI 17. gabi 18. Team Turtle-Ham 19. celt45 20. Vanelle 21. Cherry Spawn 22. thefoolandhisqueen 23. dflye 24. JJG10101 25. rrglcag Some stats: 51 people signed up for the challenge 38 of them had solved at least 10 puzzles It seems that the most difficult puzzle was #14. which required you to decipher a message located on the back of the coin. It could be solved easily with an easy-to-find online tool. Unfortunately the website did not close after the 25th solver as planned, but if you are to finish the puzzles now, know that no more coins will be given away (as no more were minted). For those who were stuck on a particular puzzle, the solutions will be posted in a week or two as well. Thanks for playing everyone!

The invoice will be e-mailed to you.

3 spots left!

We will start senging out invoices in a week or two when we have the coins in hand.

Please keep all conundrumcoin discussions in the conundrumcoin thread. If you are not sure why you are getting an answer wrong, you may use the "contact us" box and one of us will check. Emailing previous solvers works as well. This is just to keep answers from being given away here. P.S. One of us will get to answering the recent flood of emails sometime today, I promise.

We have our first 10 solvers! (11 actually) Here they are: 1 coreynjoey 2 tsunrisebey 3 jimbexleyspeed 4 Sue-Cat 5 Lowgrey 6 LibertyBelle 7 clamm 8 Doobies1 9 Scrabblehounds 10 Bluemotmot 11 joetony

Coins should have started arriving today. Congratulations to coreynjoey and tsunrisebey, the first two to complete the puzzles!

I received my cool Yaahl feather! Thanks CF30! P.S. ConundrumCoins should start ariving in your mailboxes soon. I see that at least 5 people already received them- but nobody who received them today has already finished the puzzles.

Gatoulis has moved an Athens geocoin owned by a cacher who lives near San Francisco.

I am an immigrant from Russia who is really close to getting his US citizenship. However, yesterday, when I was about to sign my certificate of citizenship, the worker began to ask me about myself. When I mentioned I was a geocacher, she put away the certificate which I had already signed at least 10 times, and took out a new one which she mentioned was especially for geocachers. As she looked it over, she asked me when my last cointest win was. I told her it was the feather cointest, but apparently they do not count cointests with more than 5 winners. The last one I won that matched the criteria was probably a month ago or more! She then told me that if I do not win one within a week from then, my citizenship will be permanently denied, and I risk being deported. And how often do people in Russia ever win cointests?

Made three separate visits for a cache a few months ago. The first time I went the morning it was published (after a few DNFs) and met up with a few FTF hounds on the scene. None of us could get the GPS to point anywhere close to the mini-garden in which we suspected the cache to be. We did not want to trample any plants, and followed the "wheelchair accessible" attribute. With no luck, we gave up after 40 minutes. When I came home, I noticed the owner checked up on it and specified that it was a fake rock. I did not remember any rocks anywhere around that garden (located in a small park with still no rocks nearby). The people I met went back for a second attempt and came up with nothing. The following day, I spent another 20 minutes at the area, trampling a few plants before concluding that it must be a nano in a pebble. Turning over a lot of pebbles did not help. Soon, it was found. Exactly a week since it was published, I returned to meet another cacher, and after another 20 minutes I came up with a large rock in the middle of a plant in the middle of a mini-garden, which a wheelchaired person would never be able to get.

I know of one that's already made it back here to California after a few moves.

I plan to be releasing mine to go down to meet Night Hunter, so look out for that.
