Who Can Read Code ??

[+MoonHerb]

I haven't done many caches yet (40ish), but, I've found that the decryption of the clues is becoming almost second nature !

 

Certain words like 'cache' hidden' 'in' 'at' e.t.c. I can just read without looking at the key !

 

Does anyone else seem to have this ability ??

Nah... we always decrypt them before setting out.

Whats the hint for ???

V whfg pyvpx ba "Qrpelcg"!

Nope not me I just click the decrypt button on cachemate B)

 

I will have to put Pyoung1s in later to see what he said

[+Naefearjustbeer]

Not a hope I always decrypt the clue at home and save the page to my pda before setting out. I dont actually read it until I need too though so sometimes I use them other times I dont have too

You're not alone in that one, I mostly use an ebook reader on my mobile to read the notes and (already decrypted) hints from the .prc file but at the beginning I used to take printouts and decrypt in the field. I too could read some words without using the key such as 'tree stump', 'hollow', 'hidden', etc.

All the kids I try with ROT13 encryption seem to love it and are really quick to catch on. We use it a lot at Cubs for treasure hunts etc and the kids always beat the leaders!!!

[+wildtrekker]

I only ever decrypt in the field and only if I really need to. Of the 100 caches I've done, only needed to about a dozen times, so I know a few like cache or The, but I do find that I guess words quicker so only have to decrypt a couple of letters to get the word.

We generally decrypt before we set out, but, they are not always useful...

[+spioradsaor]

Yup it is becoming quite scary. Murrin is even better and can read books back to you encrypted

 

Only ever decrypt out on the hill / hunt etc ...Which ultimately leads to the paper getting all wet and falling to bits

[+The Hole-in-the-wall Gang]

After we had found a few caches I used to print out the decrypted cache sheet and kid myself that I wouldn't sneak a peek at the clue. I have since learnt that curiosity usually gets the better of me and I now always wait and decrypt in the field if necessary. That way, it makes me more likely to try and find it without the clue which is more fun ( sometimes )

You were probably Welsh in a past life.

Darn, I thought I was the only one with this super power...

I'm Welsh in -this- life... but I still struggle to decrypt some of the clues without a pencil

 

Certain words are already known, so I can get a jist of what it's on about, but I try not to need to decode unless I'm stumped.

[+The Wobbly Club]

Yes we can read Geo as well. Although we rarely use the clues now.

I just get Cache mate to do it too, If I don't use the clue, I always read it before I re-hide to make sure the cache is in the corrcet place.

 

And I cacn't count the number of times I've said to myself "That'll do, I'll read the clue now", and spotted the cache while waiting for cache mate to sort the waypoints.
