Mrs Gaggle's 1st Puzzle Cache Mystery Cache

This cache is temporarily unavailable.

Long Man: This cache appears to have been missing for some time. Would the owner please check this cache and see if it still in place or give an indication of when it may be sorted out. Otherwise it should be archived. If there is no response to this log after 30 days I will archive the cache. In the meantime I am disabling it.

Guidelines:

  • You are responsible for occasional visits to your cache to ensure it is in proper working order, especially when someone reports a problem with the cache (missing, damaged, wet, etc.), or posts a Needs Maintenance log. Temporarily disable your cache to let others know not to search for it until you have addressed the problem. You are permitted a reasonable amount of time – generally up to 4 weeks – in which to check on your cache. If a cache is not being maintained, or has been temporarily disabled for an unreasonable length of time, we may archive the listing.

Could the cache owner please place a note on the cache page so that other cachers and I can see what your intentions are.

Please DO NOT send an email about this cache in case I don't receive it. Posting a note will ensure your cache does not get archived in error.

Geocache Description:


Mrs Gaggle hereby presents her first attempt at a puzzle cache.

Good luck to us all!!!!


After working out a few puzzles, and getting lots of wrong answers, Mrs Gaggle thought she would create one of her own to see if she is on a completely different wavelength from everyone else.


This puzzle is based on one of the options which she used when trying to figure out another puzzle cache. She thought it was such a good idea that it would make a great puzzle in its own right.


So here it is………





Just figure out how many six letter words are contained within the grid, in the standard wordsearch style.
Obviously the grid does need some “manipulation” before you begin.

Once you have identified all the six letter words use the formula below to get the location.

If number of six letter words = w, and the total number of vowels (AEIOU) in the answers = v, then the cache can be found at:


N51°20.(12*v)
E00°(20+w+v).9w4


Good luck !!!!

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


**Well done to colincactus for the FTF**
