I’ve never been much of a puzzle solver, but I’m lucky that I have friends who are!
Unfortunately for my poor overworked brain cells they also create puzzles….and headaches.
The title of this cache is inspired by GC5P1MK Zero To Go On and my total inability to solve it.
I hope you have an easier time with this puzzle.
There is no checker since you will know once you have it solved. You can always email me through my profile to confirm if you like.
Assume N 43 53 and W 078 53
Everything you need to solve the puzzle is on this page.
I have to admit I always feel a bit backwards when a new puzzle is published and the emails start flying back and forth with “Have you tried this yet?” and “What about that cipher? Nothing here!
Looking back at my caching history I noticed my very first event was a How to Solve Puzzles event hosted by my friend (and brain cell killer) SearchinSwifts. I picked up a few basic bits of information there but I still had to solve my first puzzle. Mind you, I only had 8 finds at the time. Nope!
My first few puzzles were pretty straightforward, some basic research and looking for the number sequences that would magically produce some coordinates.Next was a puzzle that had some hidden white text in the cache description. Ok, I can do this! I’m starting to “get” it! Whoohoo!On to some math puzzles and although they gave me a bit of trouble since it’s a long time since I took math I was able to dredge enough information up to manage. Soduko! Yes! I can do those! Word Searches and Crossword puzzles. OK! Nada!
Then I came across ciphers. I do not have a mind that understands them at all. Viginere, Caesar (all this time I thought Caesar was a drink or a salad) Rail Fence, Playfair, Autokey, Affine, Baconian, the list goes on and on. Zero!
Then the colours...resistor codes, that Roy G Biv guy, the specific colour numbers. Zip!
Hidden images, exif data, stereograms. I’ve stared at a lot of html code over the last couple of years and it hurts my eyes.Alphabets too. Wingdings, webdings, semaphore, Braille, Morse Code, sign language.So many to choose from it can be mind boggling. Zilch!
