Geocache Description:


Dear Cacher,

Welcome to The Miserable Mill. I am sorry you have stumbled upon this unfortunate series of geocaches, a word which here means tupperware hidden in the woods located by using multi-million dollar satellites. If your luck is better than that of the Baudelaire orphans, you can solve the puzzle below to find the coordinates of this cache before Count Olaf does. DO NOT GO TO THE POSTED COORDINATES and, please, use HIGH STEALTH so you and the cache are not apprehended by the authorities or by muggles, as Lemony Snicket has been. In fact, you may want to seriously consider using the dark abyss of the night for your cover.

I hope the foreman's puzzle does not hypnotize you as it has done poor Klaus Baudelaire.

A repeating gif that alternates between displaying hypnotic-looking patterns and purple images with white text on them, each with a single alphanumeric character or symbol. If you were to watch the gif from the beginning, you would see the following images: hypnotic patterns, N, hypnotic patterns, 4, hypnotic patterns, 1, hypnotic patterns, degree symbol (º), hypnotic patterns, 4, hypnotic patterns, 0, hypnotic patterns, period (.), hypnotic patterns, 8, hypnotic patterns, 4, hypnotic patterns, 0, hypnotic patterns, W, hypnotic patterns, 0, hypnotic patterns, 8, hypnotic patterns, 3, hypnotic patterns, degree symbol (º), hypnotic patterns, 3, hypnotic patterns, 7, hypnotic patterns, period (.), hypnotic patterns, 6, hypnotic patterns, 2, hypnotic patterns, 2, hypnotic patterns.

You do not have to have read Lemony Snicket's very forlorn diatribes in order to solve this puzzle. Check your answers below and proceed at your own risk. Please do bring your own writing utensil.

With all due respect,
A white background with a hand-drawn signature in black that says hermione_danger.

P.S. This cache is #4 in A Series of Unfortunate Caches. In order to solve #13, you need to take careful note of the letter / number combination hidden inside each of the physical caches #1 through #12.

P.P.S. Congratulations (or perhaps apologies) to SW00P and Keystoned for FTF.
