Geocache Description:

Although this is listed as a "Traditional" it could also count as a "Mystery Cache" since it involves some thinking. Located on the campus of UNLV, you need to  hunt for this one during campus operating hours. Because of the maturity level expected in and around this location please be respectable.   FTF gets a nice prize!

Secret Code: QC 457 S3
"If you’re smart and feed your mind,
This is where you’ll spend your time.
Science is your class today,
Look for Q to find the way.
Infrared you can not see,
but finding it will be the key.
Use this code to find this hide,
The cache is stuck just off the side".

There have been a few comments about how exceptionally strong the magnets are. The idea was to make certain it wouldn't slide down out of reach. It turned out the magnets were a bit stronger then anticipated. Just give it a careful tug, it will come off. NOTE: Regarding library operating hours: Although they advertise hours unfortunately those listings are not accurate as they vary widely depending on the time of year. At the peak of the semester, (including summer), it may be open early and close past midnight, possibly even on weekends. At other times they will have shortened hours. They may or may not be open Sunday, hours cater to the students needs. Your best bet is to just count on arriving during Monday - Friday during the most logical hours of operation, perhaps 9:00 am - 9:00 pm. Common sense required!
