This time I've found a nice picture on UW campus (see linked image
below). Over top of that I've written the cache coordinates. They
will be somewhat more difficult to read this time and you will need
to assemble virtually the entire puzzle to decipher them.
The difficult version of the puzzle has over 200 pieces and (for
the Windows version) they are randomly rotated. The easy version
has only about 50 pieces and they already oriented correctly. Which
challenge are you up for? You move pieces using the left mouse
button and you rotate pieces using the right mouse button. Once
pieces that belong together and are lined up they will snap
together and move as one piece. The Flash version works with all
operating systems and browsers. For the Windows version, download
the zip file below and then run the executable.

Use the linked image below to guide you in assembling the
puzzle. The posted coordinates are for The Quad where the photo was
taken. The coordinates in the puzzle are written in the format
XX.XXX - minutes and decimal minutes. You may assume North 47 and
West 122 for the degrees.
Checksums (for the five digits in each): N=28 W=26
The cache final is a film container somewhere on UW campus. Have
fun!
If you've got a really nice picture you think would make an
excellent jigsaw puzzle please send it to me for consideration.
