  If you would like to find out more about this series, click GENERAL INFO and look in the red box.





THE PUZZLE

Start the north with 35 AND the west with 079.


HI!

How are you today?

Do you LOVE or HATE puzzles?

Do you have this one solved?

If not, I hope these NUDGES help.

Do you want me to tell you what the real coords are?

Nope, not now.

Are you smiling?

Figure it out yet?

If not, go to the NUDGE box.



You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

  We are in NC. It has rained. The logs WILL probably be wet! Unless someone has changed it, it is writ-in-rain paper. Write on it.




NUDGE

  1. A cache owner can hide things in the source code that won't appear on the cache page. If you use a PC, an easy way to look at the source code is to press CTRL-U (that is, hold down the CTRL key and press the U key.) There are other ways, but to me this is the easiest.

  If you are not using a PC, do a google search to find out how to get to source code.

  2. To get to the CO's code:
       a. CTRL + F
       b. Type in "usersupplied" without quotes. That will take you to UserSuppliedContent.

Beyond A NUDGE

  Under "UserSuppliedContent", use the number after font size=. Going down, one number a line, it will start with HI/smile line. They are in the right order. (I made this very simple. I left out my chatter. Well except at the top and bottom. LOL!)

        NOTE: Need more help? Contact me. I LOVE to help and give nudges. :-)
