Geocache Description:


🌮 TTT - How Hot is Too Hot? 🌶️

Welcome to the ultimate taco test of logic and spice!
This cache will take you on a journey through the fiery world of chili peppers. From mild and friendly to melt-your-face-off hot, peppers are ranked by the Scoville Heat Scale, a system used to measure their spiciness.

Your mission is simple… but your taste buds might disagree.

To find the final coordinates, you must arrange the peppers below from mildest to hottest using commonly published Scoville heat rankings. Once sorted correctly, the position of each pepper in the list (1–12) will give you the digits needed to calculate the cache coordinates.

No eating required. No tacos will be harmed in the solving of this puzzle (probably).


🌶️ Pepper List 

Arrange these peppers from mildest to hottest:

Trinidad Scorpion Poblano  Pepper X
Jalapeño Cayenne Thai Chili (Bird’s Eye)
Bell Pepper Ghost Pepper (Bhut Jolokia) Serrano
Carolina Reaper Pepperoncini Habanero

📍 Final Coordinates Format

N 43° 11.ABC
W 080° 14.DEF

Where each letter is the position number of a specific pepper in your correctly ordered list:

  • A = position of Jalapeno

  • B = position ofCayenne

  • C = position of Ghost Pepper

  • D = position of Habanero

  • E = position of Pepperoncini

  • F = position of Bell Pepper

The cache you are looking for is a camo'd Lisa tube, hanging in a tree at the solved coordinates. This cache is only recommended during daylight hours. Please check the attributes for additional hints.
