+The Roving Ravenstones Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Don't know the puzzle but this is the site I have used previously to search for upc codes. http://www.upcdatabase.com/ Quote Link to comment
+quills Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Ok it doesn't have any digits for the UPC code just letters you substiture for the coordinates. I honestly have no idea how to figure this out. Quote Link to comment
+quills Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 Can anyone help me with this? I'm just trying to figure out how to decode this. Quote Link to comment
+Kit Fox Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 I figured out the cache you were referring to by doing a search of puzzle caches near the ones that you have found. This may be helpful. http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/upc1.htm Quote Link to comment
+quills Posted April 23, 2005 Author Share Posted April 23, 2005 ok i stilldon't get it. can you e-mail me. like i said i don't want to ruin this one it just isn't clicking. i'm probably making it harder than it is. Quote Link to comment
+Lil Elephants Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Have you tried going to the store and using one of the scanners for checking prices? Otherwise you can manually decode it. It all boils down to lines and spaces. The thick lines/spaces are really 2 of them next to each other because all lines/spaces are the same width. Quote Link to comment
+jimmyreno Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Without giving toomuch away can someone reccomend how to decode a upc puzzle cache? There are at least 2 types of bar codes, code 39 is the easier one, do you know for sure which one you're working with? Quote Link to comment
+The Roving Ravenstones Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 Try here; http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/upc4.htm Quote Link to comment
+The Roving Ravenstones Posted April 23, 2005 Share Posted April 23, 2005 In doing the little bit of research for this and viewing the cache puzzle, it doesn't appear like the picture given is completely correct. but you should be able to get it at this point. Quote Link to comment
