Here is another fun, morale
boosting puzzle
cache that won’t leave you stranded in the middle of it. A
series of 2 Star puzzles with a 3 Star finish should take you to GZ
to find Scully
This story is based on
a true yet fictitious event.
One day, Scully and I were just hanging out playing games with our
classified FBI weapons and toys just to sharpen our skills, when
she decides we should do it blindfolded. Breaking down and
reassembling our weapons, that is. When I’m done and I take
my blindfold off, she’s gone. The silence should have tipped
me off, but I was still getting over her faux pas with the secret
tympanic moderator and heard nada. My first thought: she got bored
with me and went shopping. My second thought: she got bored with me
and went shopping.
A few days later (sometimes the sales are good and she may stay out
kinda long), I begin to get worried, because I care deeply about
her, obviously. So I search the house and find a piece of paper
with some Alien language at the top that I translate quickly (Alien
scripts are my fave). It says “We are Aliens and we have
abducted the female human you call Dana, and other names sometimes.
We have run numerous tests on her (these were fun for us, but we
learned little), and have decided to return her to you. She is in
an ammo can in a large forest. Follow the simple instructions we
have provided to find her”. Hmmm, I guess they figured out we
really aren’t FBI alien hunters, just geocachers who somewhat
hastily picked a “cute” screen name three years
ago.
I am now deeply disturbed. They have shrunken Scully. I’m
going to have to buy a bunch of Barbie dolls just for Scully to
have clothes. I think pink mini-skirts and bell-bottom pants are
coming back into style….soon, maybe.
In any case, I implore you all to decipher the Aliens’
garbled junk and help me find mini-Scully. It looks like they used
earth-based symbols to make it easier for us and possibly also a
coordinate system we may be familiar with. I hope you know what to
do with all that stuff. Strangely, even in this particular
predicament, when Scully's boxed in, she's still the centre of
attention.
Fuzzy (30 feet) Checker. For your use if you use only geographic
means to find Scully.
Exact Checker. For those cachers who fine tuned their coords. using
basic math skills.
