+StarBrand Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Have you asked the owner for a clue or some help?? Sorry but it is generally considered bad form to ask for help with puzzles here in the forums. Try Google - see what you can find. Quote Link to comment

+Star*Hopper Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 Not sayin' it's the solution, but first thing that catches my eye is: 12 34.567 = 7 characters (Compare to the character groups) Just sayin'...... ~* Quote Link to comment
+attono Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 (edited) Yes, but 123 45.678 creates a little wrinkle... Now 12.34567 is a different story. It's a pretty interesting puzzle, but is beyond my meager skills. Now I have another part of the hobby to learn about. Thanks!!! Edited March 5, 2009 by attono Quote Link to comment

+mikey1959 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 I need the geocache GCXXXX number before I can help , I think it's some kind of substitution for word using some sort of base key . Like old time or civil war type of encryption scheme . I've seen before but I don't know were. What I know it's not , is a machine language type puzzle . Mikey 1959 Quote Link to comment
+mikey1959 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 It's a substitution cipher Quote Link to comment
+mikey1959 Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 This link should get you pointed in the right direction http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substitution_cipher You'll have to Google a little to find the right type though . Mikey 1959 Quote Link to comment

Mikey 1959 how do i know what type it is? As Starbrand said, "Sorry but it is generally considered bad form to ask for help with puzzles here in the forums." You've already been given way more help than most that come here looking for help with puzzles. Go to the cache owner if you need help. Most of them are more than willing to help out (besides, he already knows that you're asking!) Quote Link to comment
