Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

The Latin phrase “Vice Versa” is used to indicate that the reverse of what you have said is also true. However, the literal translation of vice versa is “the other way around” or “the position being reversed,” which I have taken some liberty in interpretation in the naming of this puzzle.

A quick scan of the letter quartets below may give you an idea what to do, if you are in the right state of mind. Plus, a little unity or reorganization will go a long way towards solving this puzzle. Graph paper, the square root of 484, and the number 50 all should help too. Good luck!

This puzzle is the seventh in a series of puzzle hides that I have placed on Mount Tamalpais. The puzzles will range in difficulty but maintain higher terrain ratings. All of the hides are ammo cans. If you like puzzles, ammo cans, and adventurous hiking, this series should be right up your alley! All caches are hidden off the beaten path, and I would suggest taking a friend along.

Good luck, have fun, stay safe, and please return the cache as found or better!
