Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Vexillology is the scientific study of the history, symbolism and usage of flags or, by extension, any interest in flags in general. After watching an episode of "The Big Bang Theory", I got the idea to make another puzzle series, but with one big difference: EASY PUZZLES!!!

This series of puzzles will include flags that are important in my life and no two puzzles will be the same. Feel free to email me for hints if you get stuck.

Flag of the Flying Spaghetti Monster

There is no officially recognized design to the flag of the Flying Spaghetti Monster (FSM) but the two most common are a stylized depiction of the FSM with his initials in white on a red field. The second design is the image of the Pirate Fish skeleton in white on a black field. Another design includes a the Pirate Fish in white on a black ovide on a red field with a black stripe at the hoist. The original design of the stylized FSM can be credited to Scott Shanks of BoingBoing
