0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz in each digit slot is Base 36. (or did I miss a digit?)

 

So you need a base 36 translator to convirt the base 36 waypoint number into decimal (base 10).

 

I re-read your description. The above doesn't look like it applies.

 

It could be

 

A B C...

1 2 3...

 

The challenge might be to figure out the system.

It looks like you need to go to the first WP and get information off a plaque or something. After that, use the Google search somebody already mentioned or go here:

www.crystalinks.com/numerology.html

 

I guess you could always e-mail the hider for hints. I'm kinda surprised this is rated as a 1 difficulty. Maybe it really is that easy? :mad:

I hope you can figure it out with the hints that you've gotten.

 

For future reference: if you really want help with a puzzle cache, ask the owner. If they want you to have help, they'll give it. They may only choose to nudge you in the right direction, but then it's their choice.

By "Numerology" they probably mean the quackery of turning names into numbers.

There are languages where letters themselves are used for numbers, so that names/words/strings/whatever really do (or at least can) have numerical meaning. Some of these languages are strongly associated with a particular religious practice.

 

The most obvioius examples would be Hebrew and Greek.

 

I am sharing this (gently and non-stridently I hope) so you don't unintentionally offend folks in mixed religious company.

 

fm,

always intrigued by comparitive theology
