Geocache Description:


NOTE: The listed coordinates are NOT the position of the cache. You must solve the puzzle below to determine the actual coordinates of the cache.

Here's yet another puzzle inspired by one of Eric Berlin's Puzzlesnacks.  It's been an interesting challenge trying to create puzzles that are comparable.  His are better, but I hope you enjoy!

If you wish, the puzzle is also available to download and print as a PDF.

As the cache owner, I represent that this file is safe to download, although it has not been checked by Groundspeak or the reviewer for malicious content.  Download at your own risk.  But really, it's just a PDF hosted on Google Drive that any modern browser will display for you just like any other webpage.


I was riding my bike, looking for a place to hide this cache, when suddenly my rear tire blew out!  Then while I was patching that up, everything spilled out of my backpack and scattered.  It was a huge ordeal!  Finally I just went home without ever hiding the cache, but realized later that the geocache was missing!  Where could it be?

Each row contains two answers, clued in order.  Answers will also be entered into the 12 interlocking puzzle pieces, always row by row, top to bottom.  The highlighted squares contain your final keyword answer for Certitude.
