Geocache Description:


Today I introduce to you an insPirational new concept as well as the first of a series of 2025 puzzle caches - The Pie Sandwich! You heard it right folks, two pies (or more!) in one. This isn't the kind of sandwich where you have two things with something different in between, nope this is entirely just pie all smushed together, one on either side with even some in the middle if you so desire! Now here's the thing: you can't be too hasty in your pie smushing; for the pie sandwich to be properly enjoyed you have to admire each side on its own first, partaking of both flavors separately before combining and resampling to truly get the full experience. One thing to note however - the tool you use to enjoy your pie sandwich may not give you the full picture necessary to gain true enlightenment; in fact you may need to search wider, really expand the window of your perspective to find all that the pie sandwich has to offer. 

Am I making you hungry yet? Alright enough with the subtext. To anyone who needs to hear it, I'm going to tell you what I wish someone had told me when I first started looking at geocaching puzzles: everything in the description and cache page is fair game to be a clue or even part of the puzzle. If you see some puzzley numbers or ciphertext, don't just skip over everything else! More often than not the key you need is in there somewhere. True, some puzzles are the guess-what-i'm-thinking type but many people (myself included) try to avoid that if at all possible. And don't be afraid to ask for a hint! I'd personally much rather someone solve a puzzle after a few hints than not at all. To that end, I hid a little somethin' part way through just so you know you're on the right path :)

Also don't go to the posted coordinates, unless you feel like going for a swim far away from where the cache is. Am I forgetting something? Oh right, the actual puzzle. Fine, here ya go:

 

931488 + 528665

760694 + 314857

155314 + 111988

136267 + 613140

314397 + 366168

824082 + 331442

273145 + 498720

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
