Geocache Description:


NYPD? "New Year's Puzzle Delight" -- something to wile away those cold, winter nights!

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. To find the cache, you must solve the following puzzle.

This cache is a tribute to one of the very first puzzle caches I ever found ["There are 10 Types of People in this World " [GCPPEP] (I've currently got over 1100 puzzle caches and counting) and one of my best geo-buddies and friends ever, adam (the cacher formerly known as adamathomeca).

I remember (on more than one occasion) saying to adam, "So, what are these 10 types"? And, listening to him patiently explain to me, "No, it's not about "10", it's about binary one's & zero's"!. I didn't understand it then, and truth be told, I STILL don't understand it fully, but I've got the T-shirt and the smiley to show I was there, so I really don't care! Adam & I have a great symbiotic relationship. He's the "IT" guy -- if I need "IT" or "computer" help, he's my go-to guy -- if he needs "drug" help, I'm his go-to-guy. So far, it's Nimrod 550, adam 0 -- I owe you big time, buddy!
