Geocache Description:

Parsons43 has proven himself to be a die-hard geocacher by getting the FTF in the wee hours of the morning. Congrats! This puzzle was inspired by my favorite magazine, GAMES. BYOP.

Lost in the Paint Store (based on a true story)


2aparrs have been looking at paint samples for hours now, and aparr is about to snap! He wants to get all the paint samples and get out of the store as quick as possible so he can get back to geocaching.

Moving one square at a time, horizontally or vertically (but not diagonally), find a path that will lead aparr from the middle of the store, over each of the 22 different paint colors (so he can take a sample home), and out one of the exits. He doesn't want any duplicate samples, so he won't pass over a single colour more than once.


Conveniently, some of the samples have prices on them. When you find the correct path, the prices will provide you with the coordinates for this cache, although you won't necessarily collect the numbers in the correct order.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
