This is a logical cache. You will need to apply focused and analytical reasoning to be successful in opening this small wooden container. You'll find it easy enough. I'll even tell you where it is! (It's at the entrance to Riverfront Park on Lambert Lane, shhh!) That's the easy part. Now you need to use your noodle to discover the correct combination of the padlock preventing extraction of the log inside. You must sign the log to score the find.
You know who's really logical and could help you figure out this puzzle? Yeah, okay, Mr Spock, but I was thinking of Supertramp. They even wrote a song about it! Here's the first verse:
"When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical"
Okay, use these clues to find the correct combination:
682 One digit is right and in its place
614 One digit is right but in the wrong place
206 Two digits are right but both are in the wrong place
738 All digits are wrong
380 One digit is right but in the wrong place
Please relock and hide the container completely after you SIGN THE LOG and "Take the Long Way Home."
