Hints/Help with the last GC souvenir decoding

[+VTMountainBiker]

Anyone understand the GC souvenir message? Not really getting it at the moment, any hints?

I learned about this 53 years ago in Scouts; the hints supplied on the page (see the bottom of the message) are really obvious.

Seme times you see a puzzle and wonder what's the hint for?

Figured it out thanks to another friendly cacher. That's very interesting I didn't pick that up right away. I just couldn't figure out the meaning. Anyway, thanks for the hints too.

Can I get a hint on this one? Would love to solve it.

I think there are one or two hints if you scroll down the page. The first one got me there, the second one firmed it up.

First hint did the trick! Thanks! I hadn't even looked at the hints. Cool!

Took me a week, but finally figured it out with the use of the hint.

I got the hint but never used these in Boy Scouts.

The puzzle just came out on the 19th how did you get it so early.

[+jellis]

To me this one was the easiest one to solve.

 

add: I didn't need the hint since I solved many puzzles using this code.

I have never figured one of these out and am even more confused now.i am definitely a traditional cacher.

It's definitely a traditional type of answer. Scroll to the bottom of the page for a hint. Then there is another hint if that doesn't do the trick. If you read through this thread, others have hinted at how to solve it as well.

Don't you mean top of the page? THIS post is at the bottom of the page.

Well...not NOW.

No, not this forum page.

 

Go to the bottom of THIS page:

Click "view photographic evidence"...before clicking on the first clue/photo, scroll down to see the link for the hint.

 

On each image, there's a scroll bar...click to go to the image, then to the next image, etc

 

I've never been in the Boy Scouts or the Navy, but I recognized what the images were representing.

 

And the hint is helpful.

 

So...hints are Boy Scouts, Navy, and the image in the hint provided by GS.

 

Google Image search.....

[Pup Patrol]

On the page with the hint image, scroll down....click on "see additional evidence here"

 

The first image leads to the next, etc

 

You're trying to come up with 11 letters, *One word. Lower case.

 

And it ties in with the "theme" of the messages.

You two and your shenanigans.

 

I meant the bottom of the puzzle page, for the record. Where I believe there is a box that says something along the lines of "hint."

[+on4bam]

Best hint is in #3 of this thread. the only way to give away more is publish the codeword.

BTW after a few letters (4 should be enough) you shouldn't even continue decoding but just guess

I don't know about that. In another forum, a "hint" essentially revealed the type of cache one will need to find to obtain the souvenir. It didn't even bother with providing a hint explaining how to obtain the codeword.

 

 

[+ThistleMae]

Initially I looked at all the people who were pointing, and thought it must be hands on the clock. Hint number three is only good if you know the correct term, which I did not. My hint, for folks who haven't figured it out yet is....It's not signals for hands on the clock...hmmm what else could it be?

I must be ridiculously obtuse. I have tried several different words and NOTHING! Navy, Boy Scouts and the word for all the different signals.

Each person is signing a different letter, have you looked up what all the individual letters are?

[+TheVoytekBear]

Let me finish this topic once and for all. If you are thinking of anything other than traditional caches you SHOULD familiarize yoursefl (at least in terms of knowing what is available) with this site:

http://www.geocachingtoolbox.com/

 

Some puzzles will become easier, some multicaches more managable and some letterboxes solvable before you go hunt them down.

 

Decrypting the Mission GC is also possible thanks to one of the "things" available there.

 

BTW. Shouldn't it be announced already?

That's a bizarre place to hide it. I never look there! Then it gives me caches based on my IP location, which is twenty-two miles east. (Though GS knows my home location.) (Does explain why I get Internet ads for locations twenty-two miles east.)

Yeah, it puts my search on the wrong coast, about 2500 miles away. And it doesn't seem to matter whether I allow my browser to share my location or not.

 

This seems... suboptimal.
