Thank you to the following cachers: 1. da_ewoks, for letting me jump in on her very cool series,2. trail reader, a cacher in California, from whom da_ewoks got the idea for the series, and 3. Mom & Little J, whose gift at the 2014 Omaholiday party was several ready-to-go cache containers. I promise I will put each of them to good use! The Dewey Decimal Classification System (DDC) was invented by Melvil Dewey. The DDC categorizes nonfiction books by subject matter into ten main divisions which are then further divided into ten subdivisions. The longer the Dewey number, the more specific the subject matter of the book. The DDC is the most widely used classification system in the world--found in libraries in over 100 countries and translated into over 30 languages.
This is part of a series of Dewey puzzles honoring cache owners of the Omaha area. Do we know these people personally? Maybe not. However, we have come to know them by their hides--the type, the container, the placement, the difficulty, etc.
Geocaching is a give-and-take activity and we all depend on the time, energy, and creativity of cache owners to keep our sport alive. If you have not yet hidden a cache, please consider doing so. To those of you who have, thank you!
I don't believe I've met The WBs in person, but I really enjoy their caches. They have a few painless P&G's, but I really enjoy their puzzle caches, especially the Great Detectives series. The attention to detail, the creativity, the often educational and always interesting background information ... to put it simply, when you click on a cache by the WBs, you know you're in for a treat.
Thank you to those who've let me know they enjoyed my first "Dewey" puzzle; I have more up my sleeve!
In order to solve this puzzle, you do not need to know The WBs. But, by simply using their hide titles, determine the correct coordinates for the cache by classifying each non-fiction subject in the DDC.
