+Bar Sinister Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 (edited) Hello I hope you don't mind me posting here but we are in the UK and trying hard to solve a puzzle cache. We think the writing on the page is Arabic / Egyptian but can not solve it despite hours and hours of trying. Would anyone be able to help please with the language on the page or able to translate any of the words. [cache link removed by moderator] Many thanks for your time Viv Edited February 15, 2014 by Keystone Link to comment

[cache link removed by moderator] Many thanks for your time Viv What did the cache owner say when you asked him for help with his brand new puzzle cache?

+Bar Sinister Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 I haven't asked him for help. I have spent hours researching languages and trying to use online Arabic keyboards to solve this and am using my initiative trying to get started with the puzzle... Link to comment
+T.D.M.22 Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 Well asking the cache owner for help would be a great place to start- after all the CO knows how to solve it. Link to comment
+Bar Sinister Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 That's true, but again, that does not show much initiative.... Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted February 15, 2014 Share Posted February 15, 2014 That's true, but again, that does not show much initiative.... but posting on the forums is showing initiative???? it's pretty bold to want this much help for a FTF. Posting the actual GC code of a puzzle cache on a public forum is not kosher. Especially when you've not asked for a hint, but the solution.

+Bar Sinister Posted February 15, 2014 Author Share Posted February 15, 2014 Actually I asked for help to identify the language or any words, I do not know that this contains the solution. I did not realize this was against any guidelines and believed it to be using my initiative rather than just running back to the cache owner..... Mods please delete my post as it seems to be cause some people so much offense.... Link to comment
