The Series
This cache is one of a series offering a variety of "easy" puzzles. They are all (meant to be) puzzles that can be solved either using clues provided or online resources readily found using Google. The hides themselves are relatively easy – the key feature here is you are meant to use your energy on the puzzle, not the find.
In part, this series pays tribute to TR!'s "It's Puzzle Time" series, which is another great introduction to puzzle caches (thank you heaps, TR!).
Araara
The Araara (also known as a Blue Trevally, Pseudocaranx georgianus) is a greenish-grey fish found in New Zealand and Australian marine waters. Most individual araara are named Bob, Hannah or Otto.
Backwards Cipher
A cipher is a method of disguising a message in order to keep it secret. A cipher is different from a code in that it uses a fixed procedure to jumble or substitute the letters of a message, regardless of the meaning of the message.
The Backwards Cipher is a "transport" cipher - letters of the message are rearranged to hide the message. The backwards cipher is popular among Scouts because it is very easy to use.
