No, that's not a "proper" countdown... it's the numbers you need for a NukeReactor puzzle from the mind of Shamus (NukeReactor Jr.) who got the idea while visiting the nearby Mercury 7 Gondola (GC2W0DC) cache. Your task is to sort out the last 4 digits of the North and West coordinates.
You start with: N 40° 1?.??? W 075° 0?.???
Now you need to print, cut out, and rearrange the following into a 3X3 picture that will show the correct order of the scrambled coords:
NOTE: We have been alerted that two solutions to the puzzle are possible! For the correct solution, the zeros should not be next to each other.
As always, please don’t hesitate to contact us if you get stuck on this one. The difficulty rating is very subjective since some people have an incredibly easy time with this sort of puzzle while others have an insanely difficult slog. Really, though, isn't that the way of it with most puzzle caches? Regardless, we wish you good luck and happy hunting!
Note: You get no credit for the find without signing the log unless you receive Shamus's express permission to do so and he indicates he will require some sort of photographic proof. Otherwise, he says he will launch your "found it" into space without a re-entry chute. Just because he cares about this sort of thing.
