Geocache Description:



In this caching exercise we will look at the possibilities of supercomputer ciphers in the 21st century. The old method of binary electronics, 1's & 0's (on/off), have been replaced by a much more efficient fiber optic system of computing called ternary(tri-nary) computing, which utilizes a Base 3 system of fiber optics 0's, 1's, & 2's (No light, Horizontal Light Polarization, & Vertical Light Polarization) switching system that changes Bit logic into Trit logic. This new system is much faster, more efficient, and interfaces much easier to the human brain than the old binary system. The old binary system created much more heat by switching transistor junctions compared to the new, which passes decisions forward at the speed of light with virtually no energy loss. The new (Trit) system replaces the old (Bit) system allowing 50% more information to pass thru each decision gate (Base 3 compared to Base 2). Also with a 3 Tryte word (3 digits of 3 Trits), 27 possibilities, (000=space bar and 26 distinct Trytes to follow)  is very user friendly to the human interface. This exercise will attempt to find a mystery cache using the new 3-Tryte word system to obtain the final coordinates.

If you cannot solve this Mystery using the new 21st Century cipher tools of Tryte logic, you may be able to solve it using side B of the "Scytale Cipher Letterbox" Cache.
