Welcome to the
Frederick Puzzler's Corner!
This is a monthly event to encourage puzzle solving in the geocaching community.
If you have a specific puzzle or puzzling topic you'd like help with, feel free to make note of it in your Will Attend log so others can prepare to help.
Fun Facts:
Today is National Apple Turnover Day. Sounds like a great snack!
Did you know that on this day in 1865, The U.S. Secret Service began operations under the Treasury Department to aid in the prevention of counterfeiting?
The Bikini swimsuit (a daring 2 piece swimming costume for ladies) was introduced in 1946 by French designer Louis Reard at a popular swimming pool in Paris.
The voting age in the United States was lowered to 18 years old when the 26th Amendment to the Constitution was ratified in 1971.
In 1996, scientists at the Roslin Institute in Scotland revealed they had cloned the first animal from the tissue of another. That turned out to be Dolly the Sheep. Genetics have come a long way in a short time since then.
Here's the usual spiel…
This event is open to all geocachers, no matter what your statistics say or whether you even like puzzles! Newbies and addicts, socialites and lone wolves, mark your calendar.
If you've got a puzzle or mystery cache that's currently got you stumped, this event is for you!
This is an unstructured think-tank assembly where you can collaborate on the latest tantalizing quizzler on your radar. Much learning comes from working with others to solve a targeted teaser, and there may be a short tutorial thrown in once in a while. You don't have to work on puzzles to attend; there are always good stories to be heard and told. However, you'll have plenty of others to bounce ideas around with, and you might discover someone has solved a puzzle using a similar technique. We continue to see successes and progress at each gathering.
For the puzzle junkies, bring your puzzle paraphernalia - flagged caches, laptop or tablet (Wi-Fi is available), theories, library card, worksheets, (sp)eye glasses, flight plans, Enigma machine, abacus, scratch paper (don’t forget your writing instrument) - you never know who, or what, will show up, and from whom you can gain an advantage. Have you recently cracked a tough one and want to see others’ wheels spinning? That could be very entertaining! Yes, we have regular head-slapping moments!
