Geocache Description:




You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

This cache is not at the posted coordinates, but I am sure that you have already figured that out.
I am also guessing that once you saw the picture, you recognized this puzzle as a Nonogram.

This is another puzzle where I am asking you to relax, take your time, and try to solve this by hand, the way it was meant to be solved. If you should get an error message while attempting to solve this via computer, then my fiendish plot worked. Solving this by hand will give you what you need to find the cache, and a huge sense of accomplishment. Trying to foil my fiendish plot will most likely give you an entirely different picture.

Remember, there is still six months left until the party. You have PLENTY of time to solve this by hand.

There is a special trinket for the first nine finders. Why not ten, you ask again? Well, only nine would fit, not to mention that they only come in packs of three anyway. Ironically, the little trinket would actually aid you more while solving this puzzle, rather than having it after finding the cache.
Ah well, sometimes things just work out that way.
