Geocache Description:


Pick A Puzzles

In Cheshire, a cacher named twolittleducks started a series of caches known as Pick-A-Puzzles. They are everyone’s favourite… that is if you like the kind of puzzles that make you hit your head against a brick wall. 


Below are a list of previous Pick a Puzzles, maybe looking at these will give you some ideas on how to solve this one…

GC910HX Pick a Trig... any Trig

GC9K07T Pick a Christmas Dinner... any Christmas Dinner 

GC8A0YV Pick a Bike... any Bike

GC8TN7W Pick a X-Files Episode... any X-Files Episode 

GC9V5RC Pick a Queen... any Queen

GCAT43A Pick a Mike... any Mike

GC9YDAZ Pick a Butty... any Butty

GC8APYK Pick a Nose... any Nose

Whilst Cheshire is like my second home, I was brought up in Lincolnshire. I’ve thought about coming up with one for this area for a long time! but what subject matter to choose? Well, given our proximity to Grimsby, how about Pick a Fish? 

 

🐠 🐟 🐠 Pick a Fish… any Fish 🐟 🐠 🐟 

So how does this work? Below are a list of types of fish. All you have to do is find the name of the correct fish from the list and put it into the checker…

You could, if you wish, take the slow route and go through every single one and eventually find the correct option. Or is there a quicker way? Maybe…  

There is logic to this puzzle, you just have to find it… Will you find it straight away? Or will you need to study everything right down to the last letter?

 

Other types of fish;

Harry the Haddock

Babel Fish

An infamous Tinned Crab Trackable I once picked up at an event!

Michael Fish 

Kippers in the Jungle

Double Bass

Kwik-Save Mackrel    

 

But unfortunately all of these in the source code are red herrings and won't help you find the cache...

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
