+mpilchfamily Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 First of all contact the CO for any additional hints. Then contact those who have figured it out before you. Quote Link to comment

Enable Listing November 4, 2010 by 3blackducks (256 found) Replaced with a simpler container, the hint is no longer valid. Temporarily Disable Listing October 27, 2010 by 3blackducks (256 found) The cache has disappeared but should be replaced soon, in the mean time feel free to try and solve the puzzle. P.S. If you want just email me, i can give you a hint! Quote Link to comment
+niraD Posted April 22, 2011 Share Posted April 22, 2011 FWIW, it is considered inappropriate to post spoilers/solutions to specific puzzles here. The problem is that the spoilers/solutions remain online and searchable for the life of the cache. Furthermore, according to the 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." A while back, The Rat offered a puzzle-solving class as an event cache. His slides are available here: http://thegba.net/resources/general_information.php Among the tips he offered: Identify the theme. Check the cache title, the hint, the HTML source, the graphics (including names/URLs), any links (including URLs), whatever is at the posted coordinates, etc. If you can figure out the theme, then you should look for numbering systems that are associated with that theme (zip codes, area codes, telephone keypads, episode numbers, etc.). Around here, coordinates will have 15 digits, and will look like "N 37° xx.xxx W 122° xx.xxx". So when I'm solving a nearby puzzle, I look for a group of 15 things, and then I look for ways to get the digits 37xxxxx122xxxxx from them. In general, I look for ways to get the number 37 (or the digits 3 and 7) from something near the beginning of the puzzle, and the number 122 (or the digits 1, 2, and 2) from something near the middle of the puzzle. (Of course, you'll need to adjust this for the coordinates near you.) Other useful resources include: Puzzle Solving 101 Series (bookmark list) Puzzle Shortcuts Series (bookmark list) Solving Puzzle Caches (online article) How Do I Solve All These $@! Puzzle Caches? (tutorial-style puzzle cache) Puzzle FUNdamentals (archived event cache) and the Puzzle FUNdamentals resources on the GeocacheAlaska! education page The GBA's Puzzle Cache FAQ (for puzzle designers, but useful for understanding how puzzle caches work) Quote Link to comment
