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!).
Monkey
A "Monkey" is a paraphyletic term for primates of the infraorder Simiiformes, excluding gibbons and great apes. Girls in ruby slippers should be particularly careful of flying species.
Keyword Cipher
The Keyword cipher is another one-to-one letter cipher. To encipher a message, the letters of a keyword are written (excluding any repeated letters), followed by the remainder of the alphabet. For example, using the keyword "zebra":
|A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M|N|O|P|Q|R|S|T|U|V|W|X|Y|Z|
|Z|E|B|R|A|C|D|F|G|H|I|J|K|L|M|N|O|P|Q|S|T|U|V|W|X|Y|
It should be noted that some words work better as keywords for this cipher than others.
