Geocache Description:

Create your own solution to the puzzle

This cache is a tribute to all the factoids I have learned solving (or trying to solve) many of the various puzzle caches. But instead of struggling with difficult puzzles, you can create your own puzzle question and answer for this log.

To log this cache, you need to take one of the postage stamps in the container (Note: these are a random sample of foreign postage stamps. If you have a personal dislike of one of the countries, just choose a different country.).

Then using your computer, find a "factoid" about the stamp or the country of the stamps origin or the figure/item depicted on the stamp. The "factoid" must be a bit beyond the obvious. For instance, to say the figure on the stamp is a bird will not count; find out why that bird was chosen or something unique about the bird's habits, lifestyle, song, etc., will count for the log. Nor will duplicate "factoid" logs count. Each "factoid" needs to be unique. In this way, you create the question and answer to this UnPuzzle (and learn something while doing it!). One resource might be (visit link)

I hope this will be a fun learning cache for my fellow cachers. The container is a small camoed plastic screw-top container. There is room for small trading items, but I really didn't build this cache for trading. The hide is rather simple for kids. Please do not take the bag full of the foreign stamps! Bring your own geopencil in case the pencil gets lost.

Parking is at N39° 49.835 W104° 57.003. The dirt lot is an unmarked turn north off I-76. There are many picnic tables in the area and a rest room as well.

Please carefully rehide this cache as this area is occasionally used for parties (traditional or drunken bashes).
