Advanced Rune Translation Challenge
Advanced Rune Translation was a book about, unsurprisingly, Rune Translation by Yuri Blishen. It was a required textbook for Study of Ancient Runes, a form of writing which witches and wizards used hundreds of years ago.
Whilst your puzzle caching probably required translating various character sets or ciphers, this challenge will also assess your dedication to finding puzzle caches.
To qualify for this challenge, you will need to find:
- A mystery cache on each of 200 unique calendar days
The container is NOT at the posted coordinates. You may visit and sign the log at any time. If you do not yet qualify, you may add a “Write Note”, however you may only log a “Found It” if the checker below gives you the green tick, indicating that you have qualified.
There is no need to attach an evidence list of qualifying caches, nor wait for CO confirmation; if the checker gives you a green tick indicating you have qualified, you are welcome to log your find. The CO can independently verify whether success criteria have been met. You must sign the physical log. You may do this before qualifying, but may only log online as found once all elements are satisfied
There is no restriction on found date or location of qualifying caches. Check to see if you qualify for this challenge using the link below.
This challenge complies with the 2016 Challenge Cache Guidelines, which can be found here.
