+ljvet Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I am absolutely horrible at solving puzzles. Besides asking others who have answered it - is there a strategy or resource? Here's one - for example: http://coord.info/GC3WAVR Thanks. Linda Quote Link to comment
+kunarion Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 resource? Ask the Cache Owner. The CO appears to be active, and seems to think the solution is obvious (the cache has a very low difficulty rating). So the CO may be happy to give you a nudge. I have info on my own caches prepared to email, in case a cacher is stumped. Others probably do, too. Quote Link to comment
+MTH Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I'm not sure you want to hear this, but it took me about 2 minutes to solve using Google. If you're really stuck then send me a message and I'll send you a hint. Quote Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 I am absolutely horrible at solving puzzles. Besides asking others who have answered it - is there a strategy or resource? You could do a search of the forums for "puzzle". Then you would have found the excellent post by niraD, which should be made a sticky in each forum where this question comes up so frequently. A recent thread, which contains niraD's excellent "puzzle primer" post: http://forums.Groundspeak.com/GC/index.php?showtopic=305890 B. Quote Link to comment
+Y2KOTA Posted January 8, 2013 Share Posted January 8, 2013 Heres what I learned, look at the given numbers in the coords. N 44° 54.020 W 093° 24.653 For the final GZ, it needs to be within a set range of the posted GZ. N 44° 5 & W 093° 2 should be a given. Compare the the puzzle clues and questions to the coords and work from there. Hope this helps. Think I explained the idea. Quote Link to comment
+rjb43nh Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 The solution took me a few minutes of Googling but once you get to the right place the answer will be obvious. Quote Link to comment
+wimseyguy Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 (edited) It's generally considered bad form to ask for the solution to a specific puzzle in the forums. The answer will stay out there forever. Best to contact the CO for a nudge, most times they want people to find their hides. Next best option is to check with a friend who has already found it. Discussions on general puzzle strategy is a bit different. And someone will come along soon with their canned list of previous threads on the topic too, so I don't have to spend the time using the search function found in the top right corner of every page here. BTW I am pretty weak at puzzle solving too, and I found the key to this one in just a few minutes. Stick with it. Edited January 9, 2013 by wimseyguy Quote Link to comment
