+NYPaddleCacher Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Even though I am about 700 miles from the "Key to the Cryptonomicon" cache I have been working on trying to solve the puzzle. I was wondering if anyone else here was working on it and would like to compare notes. I really have no idea how far into it but I have solved several pieces of the puzzle. I'm mostly looking for someone else to bounce ideas off of as I am finding it easy to go off in directions that don't "seem" to lead anywhere. Quote Link to comment
bogleman Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Is this the cache? Glad it's not close to home. Quote Link to comment
+NYPaddleCacher Posted January 10, 2008 Author Share Posted January 10, 2008 Is this the cache? Glad it's not close to home. Yes, that is the one. I believe that so far only five people have solved the puzzle. Quote Link to comment

I believe that so far only five people have solved the puzzle. I solved it last weekend! What a great puzzle! Maybe someday I'll travel the 700 miles necessary to find the actual cache.

+Arndtwe Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 (edited) Well, I did some digging this afternoon and after decoding the binary, it gave me a website. I won't give that out, cause the owner probably wouldn't like that... Anyway, after finding his website, I did come across a picture with all the prime numbers on it. However, that is where I am stuck. I can't get past that, nor can I decode the stuff on the cache-page. Can someone provide a link, or a term to search on google, so I can decode that other code (not the binary) on the cache-page? Edited February 11, 2008 by Arndtwe Quote Link to comment
+Kiwi Nomad Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 I tried looking at it. MOC!!! Just don't understand why, seeing as from the comments above only 5 people have solved the puzzle!! Quote Link to comment
+Monkeybrad Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 (edited) The money paid by Premium Members goes directly to support the website that makes this game possible. The group who spent over a year creating this cache made it a Members Only to reward those who support the site through their membership. There is the added benefit that it also allows them to view the audit log for the cache. btw, Congratulations to NYPaddleCacher for solving the puzzle portion of the cache, let me know if you get in the area to hunt the final.

+Arndtwe Posted February 12, 2008 Share Posted February 12, 2008 How do you read the audit logs on cache pages? Quote Link to comment

+Monkeybrad Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 The audit log allows the cache owner to see who has viewed the cache page online and how many times they have viewed it, but is only available on MOC's. I make most of my tougher puzzles MOC's just to be able to view this log, although it is by no means foolproof, it helps you to track who has actually solved the cache and who has had the final coordinates given to them. It does not track people who view the cache page offline obviously, so I usually include some vital piece of information hidden on the page that will not be part of the gpx file, so it is necessary to visit the cache page in order to solve the puzzle. Plus it is neat to be able to look and see who is visiting your cache page often, it helps you keep track of who is actively working on your puzzle. Quote Link to comment

That sounds really helpful, but how do you view it? I cannot find that option anywhere in the prperties of the page or in the source info. Can you tell me the process of finding this?

+Monkeybrad Posted February 13, 2008 Share Posted February 13, 2008 (edited) Piece of cake. Go to a Members only cache that you own, and just below the cache title, one line below where it says "This is a subscriber only cache", there is a link to "Read the audit log (See who viewed your cache)". It only appears for the owner of the listing. edited to add image Edited February 13, 2008 by Monkeybrad Quote Link to comment

+Monkeybrad Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 There is not a way to view this on other's caches that I am aware of, but then I am not a techie kind of guy. Quote Link to comment
+Arndtwe Posted February 14, 2008 Share Posted February 14, 2008 Well, I tried copying the audit log URL and then replacing the ID with this cache. It said I do not have proper access to view the audit log. Not surprising really.... must be a secret way to, or maybe the needed info is somewhere else! I guess I'll keep looking.
