Who knew Flagman could cook! Great food and ideas. I hate to see the new puzzles that will be created from looking at these! :)

OK - I've received 2 requests for adding hints so here we go:

 

Please follow these instructions to avoid a "flame-war" in the forums.

If you need a hint for a puzzle e-mail me directly and tell me which puzzle and where you're stuck. C'mon now - don't ask me to add hints to all of them. I need your request no later than 9 pm PST tomorrow Monday 1/28.

May I suggest that hints be given out publicly and only on puzzles not solved yet? This would seem more fair to the puzzling public.

OK - I received requests to post hints for the following caches:

 

Unsolved:

 

Teco #12 - Acronyms

Teco #13 - Stuck

Teco #14 - 10 Miles

Teco #16 - Numbers

Teco #18 - Memories

Teco #19 - Riddles

 

Solved:

 

None

 

-------------------------------------

 

This is how it's going to work:

 

Cachers in the top 3 scores get to decide if they want a hint or not at this time (Have they truly exhausted their brains?!?). :rolleyes:

If I hear no objection from LLOT, TT, FM and devhead I'll start posting hints.

Let me know before 9 pm tomorrow Tuesday.

 

Geez - Why so many hoops??? Why not just post some hints?

Well, I wanted to try something new by letting the puzzle solvers decide. Some like hints, some don't... we'll see how it works out. :lol:

Oh, for heaven's sake. Just post some hints... Or don't. Whatever. We all have plenty to do and I think we have all moved on from these puzzles and are unlikely to come back without some hints. So if you want people to solve them, post hints. If you don't want people to solve them, don't post hints...

Whoa!!! Hold it for a second now...

This "hint or no hint" goes back to posting #32 and on. Not to mention the e-mails I received immediately afterwards and the conversations I had with some of you... Put it this way, more than one person objected to hints!

Well, I've decided not to have a vote, rather if one of you "top guys" object to hints, let me know. After reading FlagMan's response above I'm confident that he is not objecting. :)

O geez, I can see it coming again, that debate on Geo-Cheating. So now "virtual finds" are a big rage along the east coast. Whaddaya think of that?

Don't take it personally PB. Everyone is just stuck and wants to make progress. There are just so many directions that one can take with the remaining puzzles. Everyone will respect your decision, they just want a decision. I have seven left and can say that I keep coming up with ideas (they are getting worse each time). The hardest part is finding a connection. The puzzles requiring only 6 digits are even harder, because most of the idea (whether valid or not) fall within the region your targeting.

 

I just hope that everyone will continue to be courteous to each other. Remember that we make up the best geocaching group because of the people. The puzzles are suppose to be hard, so they are successful.

 

(speech over.. sorry about that)

By the way, I would like hints too but that is really your decision. :)

No Hints! These caches are out of my 140 mile radius and I like watching the drama, it is also fun to watch The Polar Bear sweat as he zig zags from work to his car, cautious of any :laughing: Geocacher :) that may have been pushed over the breaking point. :D:D:)

My two cents, FlagMan sums it up nicely. Just Do It! (Thanks, Nike)

 

Either put hints on the puzzle page, or don't. It's up to you.

 

If you want people to find the caches . . .put out a hint. If you really aren't interested in anyone finding them . . . don't. Of course, if you really don't want people to find your caches, why put them out in the first place?

 

Personally, I'm with Eric and Hill. It's out of both my lunch and home areas, and I only looked at them for the fun of solving them. Once they were no longer fun, I turned to other things. Life is short.

Hmmm... Interesting... All these "well-meaning" cachers that tell me how/when to post hints when I already said how/when I'll do it... :)

 

 

:laughing: PB: I can assure you that your puzzles have been a HUGE success. They have provided the best in San Diego and all over the country hours of enjoyment and frustration. If you could have heard and seen the guys at Flagman's house you would have grinned from ear to ear. I was amazed at the amount of work they have done. I'm sure they will be happy when you throw them a tidbit to freshen their excitement and renew their desire for FTF.

All I can say is to read the last riddle page carefully. It is literally riddled (I had to say it :drama: ) with hints and you'll find what you seek there.

I hate to say it but repeating the above statement over and over is doing nothing to improve our ability to comprehend the unobvious. We have been reading and re-reading the last riddle page carefully for a month now and, though what we seek may actually be there, the fact remains we have not found it inspite of all the careful reading (and rereading). :drama:

Polar Bears look so nice and cuddly with that pure white fur and everything, but in reality they can be quite mean and nasty -- one might even say :drama: evil :drama: -- without the slightest sympathy for our predicament... I picture him tossing his head back and letting out a sinister laugh as he reads this, fully satisfied that his particular brand of torture is playing itself out perfectly according to plan. Puzzlers of the world unite, I say! There's work to be done, and retribution to be planned! As we once did with another evil one, we must turn our thoughts to the annihilation of the Oso -- eviction from paradise -- it is essential to the survival of our race... He may be winning this little battle, but the war is far from lost...

 

On the other hand, we could just continue to beg for hints... :o

I personally would read every word. Well, you can skip conjunctions since they are fairly ineffectual. Prepositions, however, should not be ignored especially if it indicates the temporal, spatial or logical relationship of its object to the rest of the sentence, which in turn makes the prepositional phrase even more important. What about noun phrases you might ask?!? I'm not really using them but be careful about adverbs that inadvertently describes the object, i.e. the clue.

 

I hope this helps and not considered a spoiler... :drama:

I'll post stats again when something new is solved.

I guess we won't be seeing any stats for awhile then...

 

Marcus: Captain, if I were you, I'd quit while I was ahead. Back on Minbar there was a saying among the other Rangers: Anyone who wanted to get a straight answer out of Ranger One was to look at every reply in a mirror while hanging upside down from the ceiling.

 

Sheridan: Did it work?

 

Marcus: Oddly enough, yes. Or after a while you passed out and had a vision, either way the result was pretty much the same.

Hmmm....a new strategy presents itself...

I've been working on clearing out my 5 mile radius and I felt that I was making good progress.

That is, until my celll phone woke me up at 6am this morning with a massive amount of cache notifications! :unsure:

I was down to 18 caches, 12 of which were puzzles. Now I have 38, 32 of which are puzzles. :lol:

 

I hate it when that happens.

 

You must have a lot of caches in your area. It looks like you have over 2700 finds and you still had 18 caches within 5 miles before these puzzles were posted? I've only got 305 finds but have found all but four caches within 10 miles of where I live. Only one is a puzzle cache (which I have solved) but it and two others are in areas that are not very winter accessible. On the other hand only three of the caches within 10 miles of my home coordinates are in lamp post skirts.

Come down to San Diego sometime, we have areas with enough caches to blow your mind!

You definitely need to pay us a visit. A lack of caches is one thing that we do not have. Another thing that we do not have is snow (well, not much anyway...)

 

To give you an idea of the size of the burden we carry: Nine months ago, I had cleared out an 11 mile radius from my home. To do it, I had to find 1328 caches. Today, I have 1627 caches found inside that radius and if I wanted to clear every cache within that radius again, I would have to go find another 45 caches -- 6 of which are part of ThePolarBear's Tecolote Insanity. Of course, by the time I do that, there will be even more...

 

Yes, it is truly a burden but it is one that we bear gladly... that is, except for those 6 PolarBear caches! :unsure:

 

P.S. We have several caches to paddle to as well. Bring your kayak...
