+DMBANTS Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Certian caches have codes that you must solve or decypher before you can figure out the final coordinates of a cache. Can some one help me in how this is done??? Quote Link to comment
+Cow Spots Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Depends on the type of code. In most cases, the trick is to figure out what type of code it is you're dealing with. A good website primer for cryptology is one setup in conjunction with Simon Singh's great read, The Code Book. The associated website is called "The Black Chamber" and has an excellent tutorial about many forms of codes and ciphers. Be aware, however, that many puzzle caches may and do contain ciphers which are outside the bounds of Singh's website, which tends to cover the more common or historically interesting codes and ciphers. A well written puzzle cache will usually give you a hint, even if it's just an inkling, of the type of cipher used. Aside from that? Google is your friend. Good luck. --Dave, The Cow Spots Quote Link to comment
