I got a care package from a Geocaching “friend”.
I’m pretty sure it’s the makings of a mystery cache, and I could use a helping hand decrypting it.
It doesn’t appear to be too complex but the path forward is not yet clear.
The package contains four (4) blank die cubes. They look just like normal six (6) sided dice with the dimples indicating 1 through 6, except they have no dimples. They’re blank.
There is also a small package of stick on letters. It’s the alphabet A to Z, except the X & Y are missing, so there are only 24 letters.
There is a list thirteen (13), four (4) letter words (in English thank goodness).
Here’s the list:
Hour, Grow, Wish, Maul, Oval, Zeal, Puke, Drip, Jack, Chef, Beds, Quit, Turn
The scant instructions say stick the letters on the cubes to make the words.
Once completed proceed to garner the coordinates using the following instructions
Add the total value of each die, using the number equivalent of each letter (1-26).
That should give you four distinct double digit numbers.
Let A = the largest #, B = 2nd, C = 3rd, & D = the smallest
North equals 39 1 (A-10) (B-6) West 84 1 (C+13) (D-22)
