The cache IS at the listed coordinates. So, if you don't like
puzzles then feh, forget the stupid puzzle. I know what some people
just hate puzzles.
Just be warned that my GPS is a little persnickety and there's a
lot of good hiding places in this area. If you prefer to go to the
site armed with a bit more knowledge though, then solve the puzzle
and you'll get as much information as you need to find the
cache.
The puzzle is simple enough. I'll show you several pictures of
everyday items, tell you how many letters and you write down your
answers. Easy enough, right? Well, maybe. I'll be showing you
pictures of really common things but I'm afraid they may have
uncommon names. Let's try an example:
EXAMPLE PHOTO
_ _ _ _ _
1 2 3 4 5
OK, so in our example, the answer has 5 letters (thus the 5
blanks under the photo). So, you'd simply fill in the letters for
your answer "P E N N Y" in the blanks because you recognized the
photo as the a one cent coin. Simple enough, eh? Well, the real
clues won't be QUITE that simple. So here are your other clues:
Each answer will be a single word.
Clue #1
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Clue #2
_ _ _ _ _ _
1 2 3 4 5 6
Clue #3
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Clue #4
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
Clue #5
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Clue #6
_ _ _ _ _ _ _
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Now, since you've figured out all the pictures here's the coded
hint:
33 14 22 46 25 53 13 40 12 64 40 62 43 15 62 67 45 52 21 45
23
44 13 22 11 37 45 21 63 49 62 51 24 45 52 37 47 67 32 56 62 22
46
45 13 12 ? 45 55 66 43 52 24 58 66 ? 13 51 61 56 45 ? 52 37 48 64
?
44 35 ? 24 65 32 ? 21 54 ? 53 13 22 67 41 67 12 37 40 55 41 22
44
40 66 ? 13 ? ? 43 52 12 16 48 37 64 ? 45 52 24 ? 17 32 18 45 62
66
13 62 18 43 46 44 57 22 52 62 26 ? 41 35 56 21 33 11 23 44 67 22
37
67 66 35 22 52 43 66 22 24 45 25 52 32 42 21 16 52 64 14 58 18
57
65 24 62 45 62 18 15 35 33 24 52 44 51 24 67 44 55 52 62 67 22
62
18 23 53 ? 62 67 22 53 13 43 52 24 48 37 45 52 47 35 22 46
So to read the hint, replace the numbers in the code with the
appropriate letter from your completed puzzle. For example '33' in
the code is the 3rd letter from clue #3 above.
Lastly, the ? in the code are letters that don't appear in any of
the puzzle answers so they can't be encoded. You should be able to
figure those out from context if you get the rest.
The first time finder prize is a Turkish 5 Lira Coin from 2005.
Quite a nice coin, it's about the size of a silver dollar and is
bimetallic in nickel and Bronze.
