+Coldgears Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Okay, I spent about an hour solving this thing... I found every number listed. I put in 0 for each number that doesn't exist. I came out with 040008025000740580064 how would I translate the numbers I got into coords? You can see the original cache here http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_detai...49-d70f41bc3706. I'm confused and this is my first puzzle. Help? Quote Link to comment

I'm confused and this is my first puzzle. Help? Did you read the hint? Yes, I used to to figure out how to decode... I used this website http://www.zompist.com/numbers.htm to find all the numbers that are listed. When the number wasn't on the list I added a zero. The problem is, there are more zeros than the coordinates are supposed to have. 040008025000740580064 is a lot like the wrong coords which are N 40° 08.000 W 074° 58.000. I tried making the coords N 40° 08.025 W 074° 58.064 but that was wrong according to the checker... Quote Link to comment
+dfx Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 (edited) "gradi" probably means "degrees" and not zero. punkt and punto mean point. graus probably also means degrees. that gives you the full coords right there. don't assume that something you can't find means zero. there's a meaning behind everything.

+Knight2000 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Tommorrow when It's not 9 PM at night... What's wrong with you? Caches are so much fun at night! Not always. A few weeks ago I went out at 4am when it was windy and 35°F. It sucked. Quote Link to comment

Tommorrow when It's not 9 PM at night... c'mon, you don't have a flashlight? This made me LOL. I've said these same words to myself when seeing a new cache come out. Really, I'm still laughing.

+mikey1959 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Do a Google search for each word . the writer of this puzzle has used a different word in a different language to encrypt the coords . that' what I come up with . MIkey Quote Link to comment

AGGH, never thought that anyone in my community would visit these forums. Let me erase the answers I got... Quote Link to comment
