Hexakosioihexekontahexaphobia
That is one heck of a word. But it is real! It means
having the fear of the number 666 or six hundred sixty six.
(Just seeing a word that big may actually trigger a
case of hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia.)
I also like this word because it has "Hex" in it three different
times. Okay, I know you just counted them.
I hope you don't have a fear of things with six sides. Below are
two puzzles that you will need to complete to find the coordinates
for this cache. These puzzles have 91 little sections that have six
sides each.
Fill out the honeycombs with the numbers 1-91. Consecutive numbers
must share a cell wall, thus the sequence 1-91 is like a long snake
that fills the entire honeycomb. I have included a sample puzzle at
the bottom of the description that shows how the numbers must
connect.
Once you have all the numbers filled in properly, you need to take
the two digit number in each shaded section and add the digits
together. This sum will give you coordinate number for the
corresponding letter. As an example, if shaded cell "K" has the
number 71 then you add 7+1 to get 8. It's that simple.
The cache can be found at N 39 43.ABC and W
121 48.XYZ.
Most people should be able to right click on each puzzle and
print it to make solving the puzzle a bit easier.
