-- puzzle starts here --
I love the puzzles that sum geocachers put out
their for us to solve, and hopefully this is won of them. Some
puzzles have us doing mathamatics to come up with sum vary large
numbers, so its good to memerize an few squares and square rutes.
If you're lucky, you will recognize the method that they are using
to render their coordinates. Their are many possibillities, and a
cache owner (CO) doesn't want us to get the solution two quickly
(I'm usually only able to figure out about twenty precent of the
puzzles because there just too tough (or else I’m just too
dum)).
I love figgering out (or at least attemping) the
solution two the puzzle cashes - even thought I’m not to good
at doing them. The puzzels usuallly have me scratching my head,
searching the internet, doing some wierd mathamatical calculations,
or going foreward, backward, and upside down looking at shapes,
characters, or matrixs to figure out something, or the worst
punishment ever - having me figure out the mumbleings of a South
Park character (its amazing I'm still sane). Often I have to seak
the help of the internet, using it's vast informational resourses
to find vital clues. All I have to do is enter some key words into
a search box (on the Google web page for example), and look for any
information that wood relate to the puzzle, but even with all that
I may come up empty.
So, I thought I’d do a puzzle without the
need for internet searches, assuming that most geocachers have at
least eighth years of education. You will only need the plethora of
knowledge that is already in your mind (albeit somewhat hidden and
inaccessible) because this puzzle doesn't require special
mathamatical skills, or looking at a puzzle backwards, upside down,
or viewed in the mirrer or anything wierd like that. Just work it
through and find the fifteen items that you need to render the
coordinates (in order to find the cache); and if you need help, you
mite want to go back to you’re eighth grade teacher or get
eight of your closest friends to come over an help. Friends are
greight; they help us get through life’s ups and downs; and
there even helpful in solving puzzles. Bye the weigh, in this
puzzle, you need to identify fifteen things that relate to the
cordinates; for esample, their are three paragraffs in this puzzle,
and we know that three is usuallly the first character in our set
of cordinates. So, you're challenge is to determine weather or knot
this relates to the puzzle, or weather it just gives me an ideal
for the next puzzle. On second throught, their is know weigh I wood
ponder long enough to figure out how to do it because that wood
just be too hard to do; but then again, I guess I could do three
paragraphs, and then put in a key word like eight, and then
have another seven paragraphs, and then the key word again, and so
on (which would result in a very long and boring puzzle -- so
I’ll stop hear so know one gets too board).
