Geocache Description:

See Intro to Puzzle Solving Series on Lesson 1.

Be sure to record the code for the Final Exam / Bonus Cache. It is written inside the cap and on the log.

Lesson 7 - Source Code
The source code is the language behind the cache page. This provides several unique ways to hide information. The source code can be viewed on a Windows PC, either by right-click then view page source, or Control + U. or on a MAC through the Safari Develop menu. It can also accessed directly on apps such as Cachly. Once at the source code, scroll down to "User Supplied Content". In that area, you may find all kinds of information hidden in the normal view.

Example
The posted coordinates of this cache are actually located on the next line.

N 45° 4.040' W 92° 52.406'

These can be found in the source code, or in this case, they are white text and can be found by highlighting the description on the cache page.


The Puzzle
Find the information hidden in the source code.
