Geocache Description:


These puzzles test your three dimensional spatial visualization skills. There are four types of puzzles:

  • A-E: Making Rectangular Boxes. Determine which of the four assembled rectangles can be made from the flat object. If none of the rectangles can be formed, then the answer is "5".
  • F-J: Known Object Shape. Determine which the assembled objects can be formed from the flat shape.
  • K-0: Unknown Object Shape. Determine which of the objects can be assembled from the flat shape. If none of the objects can be formed, then the answer is "5".
  • P-T: Parts Assembly. Determine which of the assembled objects can be made from the parts. Letters are used to indicate where parts must join.

    This is meant to be fun. Some people have naturally superior spatial visualization skills. Studies have shown, however, that spatial visualization skills can improve with practice.
    Bonus points if you print out and assemble puzzles A-O and submit photos with your log.

    The latitude is N 47 40.ZZZ where
    ZZZ = ABC + DEF - GHI + JKL - MNO + PQR - ST - 25

    The longitude is W 122 17.ZZZ where
    ZZZ = ABC + DEF - GHI + JKL - MNO - PQR + ST + 49

    You can download a PDF file with all the puzzles here.

    I'm happy to spot check any/all of your answers.
