Geocache Description:

There is nothing hidden at the posted coordinates!




This is one in a series of many new puzzle caches that should probably be outlawed!

The series is called: F.L.O.P. -- For Lovers of Puzzles.


This puzzle cache is a little bit different than any we have placed before. You are looking for one of two Rubik's Cubes in the Austin area caches. They both have travel bugs attached that you can find here:

Cube number 1
Cube number 2


You can get up to 3 SMILEYS the first time and then up to 2 SMILEYS each subsequent time!

1. Find the cube and log it on the travel bug page
2. Solve the cube. You will see coordinates on the cube when it is solved. Go to those coordinates and sign the log (that is for one smiley).
2. Post a picture here of you with the cube in its solved state but don't reveal the coordinates to the camera (that is for a second smiley)
3. Rearrange the cube and post a picture of you with the cube in its unsolved state (that is for the third smiley)
4. Re-hide the cube in a different Austin area cache
5. Log where you hid the cube on the travel bug page

You can do this every time you find this cache!


Think you have the puzzle solved? Validate your coordinates before attempting to head over there.



Please keep these cubes in the Austin area!

Additional Hints (Decrypt)

[Don't take the cubes apart and don't take the stickers off! Those things cost me 10 bucks each so please take care of them.]
