ChrisTOTG Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 OK, the description for the cache says "The cache is NOT at these coordinates". Fair enough, but I don't understand what the next two paragraphs are. I've quoted them below: Mpfppffmfpff pppmffpppmpp mpmmppmfmpffmppmppfmm ffpmpppffppf fmmmppfpmmppppp mpmmppmmfmffppmmmmpmf fmmmfffpf fmpfppppf fmmmfffpf pppppfpfffmpmfp mmmpppmpm ppfpppmpp fmpfppppf fmpfppppf mpmmppmfmpffmppmppfmm mpfmfffpmmpp mpfmfffpmmpp mpmmppmmfmffppmmmmpmf fmpfppppf pppmffpppmpp fmmmfffpf fppmppfmmfmp.Ffmppffmf mmmpffmpp pmfppfppfpmpmffpppmfm mpfppfpff mmm ppfpppmpp pmfmfffmppffmpp pmfppfmmfpmp mmmpppmpm pmfppfmmfpmp mmfppfpppfmpmmmmffpppmpppff. Mfmppfppfmpm pmffmfmmfpmp mmmpppmpm mfpmmmpfmpfmffm mmfmmmmmfmfpmffpppmfm. I see this type of string in the logs, but it looks like i'm on the outside of an inside joke... does anyone want to give me a hint as to a: what this stuff means, or b: how to decode it? Thanks!

+robert Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 There should be a "decrypt" link, but if not, copy and paste the text here. Link to comment
+Mopar Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 What you are looking at is a type of puzzle cache. The idea is for you to figure out what that gibberish means. When you figure it out, you will have the real coordinates for the cache. Link to comment

+Q2XL Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 Can you post a link to the cache page? Or provide the cache name? I'm curious what the found logs look like? Link to comment

AJK Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 The cache should be reclassified as a puzzle, not a traditional - admin for the area? Link to comment
WH Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 (edited) In all seriousness, you really shouldn't ask for puzzle cache help in the forums. Cache owners put alot of work into their hides and it would ruin it if we spoiled it for them. I recommend contacting the cache owner and ask for some help if you are stuck.

+Jamie Z Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 The cache should be reclassified as a puzzle, not a traditional - admin for the area? Yes. It should be listed as a mystery/puzzle and not a traditional. Then new folks like our friend Chris might be less inclined to think it's just a regular ol' cache. Jamie Link to comment
+Team K1W1 Posted March 6, 2005 Share Posted March 6, 2005 I've looked at this cache too, as it's close to where I live (I guess). I have no idea how to decrypt the clues.... so you are not the only one having trouble with it Steve Link to comment
