The idea for this has been kicking around in my head for some time. Recently, when KK stopped by my office, I commented that I was planning a cache in his honor. He looked at me and said "please don't". I replied with maniacal laughter, of course.
Since KK and I work on solving puzzles quite often, it was natural to make the tribute cache a puzzle. But WHAT puzzle would I do? I thought of making something super hard. Something with digits of Pi, the Fibonacci Series, Enigma cipher and possibly an isosceles triangle . The problem was the he would be the only one who would ever solve it and find it.
Then I thought of making something easy for everyone but tough for him. A puzzle involving 70's and 80's TV icons! That would get him good. Benji, the Olsen twins, Major Steve Austin, Daisy Duke... He would spend MONTHS on the solution for that. But I thought that would be mean. It would be funny but it would still be mean.
In the end I decided to make something easy for EVERYONE. Solve the puzzle below to get the coords. Two stage. Lock-N-Lock at the final.
Северный сорок три градуса десяти пунктов восемьсот пятьдесят один
Запад семьдесят восемь градусов сорок две точки триста тридцать шесть
BTW, KK is not getting the coords before the cache is published. GPSr performance is not good in this area. You may have to widen your search to find the cache.
Поздравляем Брауна за первые семь найти.
