Apparently giving out the answers to puzzles in on a par with promoting illegal activities and posting obscene and vulgar content. <_<

No. Publishing something is not the same as sending it to someone in private. Quite the opposite really.

It took me about 10 minutes after I found the correct program that would print it in grid form for me. This is an excellent beginners puzzle cache and also an excellent intro to Sudoku. I have a ten part series in north Georgia that is a Sudoku challenge. I wish I would have thought about this type using 0 through 8 instead of the regular 1 through 9. It would have made some of the placements a LOT easier. But, it is almost through now, my puzzles have been chosen, and the final has been placed.

 

All I can say is that the hint is in the narrative and look for numbers similar to the given coordinates.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! That hint about the hint helped me a lot. I will go and find this cache tomorrow. Thanks again.

I don't think a private email qualifies as "publishing."

SWEET!!! Nice find, TOZ! That is ever so much better than the tired old "its bad form".

I have another one that I need help with. I need help with trying to find out how to do the math question.

Please take these to the Puzzle Help forum. B)

 

Seriously... folks have been unusually nice to you in spite of asking for help with a puzzle. Don't push your luck. It is not something that is generally tolerated here.

Aside from the fact that posting questions for help on puzzle caches on the Fourms or any other Social Networking site (like Facebook) is generally frowned upon uless you've first asked the CO and not gotten a response, the thing that I really got a kick out of was your log of the cache once you "found" it:

Happy Earth Day. Thought that I would go and grab this cache after I finally solved the puzzle yesterday. Nice hiding spot and container. I should have read the instructions because I forgot to bring a pen. Will come back sometime and bring a pen to sign the logbook. TFTC.

 

The "forgot to bring a pen" excuse is not looked on kindly by a great deal of cache owners and is likely to end up getting your online log deleted...

I need help with a puzzle cache that involves movie titles. I have most of them except four. Each movie title contains a number. If they were in numerical order (first pic was #1, etc.) I'd need the titles of #5, #7, #12, and #13. Anyone good with movies? Please help. Please PM my user (Arkanada110) on the GC site or reply to this thread.

 

Thanks!

I only know one of them (#7) but I have a suggestion - why not ask the CO or one of the previous finders for help? Usually for this type of puzzles most don't mind helping you fill in the blanks.

According to Groundspeak's terms of use, "You agree not to:[...] (m) Publish, in any form of media, the solutions, hints, spoilers, or any hidden coordinates for any geocache without consent from the cache owner."

 

Private communication is fine, but publishing spoilers, solutions, etc. in a public forum like this is inappropriate.
