Geocache Description:

So, the challenge was to set a Motorway Mayhem type-cache that fulfilled the criteria of that series, but with the addition of a very difficult puzzle that still doesn't stop the cache being a quick and easy find for the travelling cacher. Surely, impossible? No- because you don't have to solve the puzzle- I do...

***THE CACHE WAS MOVED ON 11TH NOVEMBER 06 AS THE PREVIOUS LOCATION WAS REMARKABLY BUSY FOR A TRACK***

If you park at the coordinates I've given at the side of Frog Lane, there's a small path into the wood. It's a very short walk to the cache. The cache is not hidden under anything prickly.

The cache itself is inside an ammo box. It is a wooden box with a combination lock. Now, of course, I know the combination and you don’t. So the puzzle I have to solve is how to influence you so that you come up with the right solution, just like Derren Brown does on TV. Of course, I have a problem that he doesn’t- I won’t actually be there!

PLEASE READ THE BACK OF THE BOX!

If my skills at manipulation fail, don’t worry as the answer is in the hint- but please don’t look at this prior to getting to the cache and reading what’s there. Please let me know in your logs if I was successful- without giving anything away.

See the latest success rate on my mind control below (as best I can estimate from the logs):

As of 16th May, 2009... 45 influenced, 34 failed
