Background
Birthdays are traditionally celebrated on the day that you are born (hence the name birth-day). The day is usually marked by the individual, or the individual's friends and family, with something special in honour of them turning a year older. This usually involves gift giving and also celebrating with a special meal, complete with birthday cake topped with the number of lit candles corresponding to the person's age, for desert. (I have linked a fascinating article on some history of birthdays, if you want more information.) This cache is placed to celebrate Bug Finder's birthday. Happy Birthday Bug Finders!Your gift is the generous D-rating,
I have been telling Bug Finders for a while now, that he should do a 'birthday' puzzle. I think he must have been too busy researching all the other holidays, because he never did. Luckily, the Bug Finder ladies were far more receptive to the idea. The littlest Bug Finder ( AKA 'the Queen of Randomness") drew this picture of Bug Finders.
then she drew this picture of the rest of the Bug Finder Clan.
And her mom, (AKA "the Mrs") texted them over to me.
to be honest, I had a whole other puzzle in mind for these pictures, but that idea didn't work out...and then I started to have a bit of fun with the PAINT program on my computer. Perhaps a little too much fun.
Here's the puzzle, and Happy Birthday Bug Finders!!
