Do you ever look at a puzzle cache and go where do I start?
We’ve all been there. There are some great tools out there; puzzle solving books, online tools, apps (just do a search for geocaching tools or solving geocaching puzzles)but where could the Cache owner hide clues/numbers?.
A good place to find the answers to that is in the help section. There you will also find the rules the hider would have had to follow https://www.geocaching.com/help/index.php?pg=kb.book&id=19, this can help you narrow down your search area. For example the dummy co-ordinates for any new caches needs to be within 2 miles of the hidden cache and the cache itself must follow the general proximity rule (no geocache may be placed closer than 161m from another cache).
The more you look at geocaching pages the more you’ll soon learn there are a number of places a geocacher can edit or hide information within the page.
Some puzzlers like to make text on a screen to appear like invisible ink – this is done by white text on a white background. You can see this by highlighting the page.
