Of course, this month's cache deserves a gratuitous photo which has no bearing on the puzzle.
Hopefully you didn't visit the kablooey house last night. You might have received some wacky goodies. See whether you can make sense of what we were handing out.
- "you'd love it...if you could afford it"
- "the bar with sole"
- "the expensive candy that takes a bite out of you"
- "indescribably fattening"
- "with ingredients from right under your pillow"
- "just say yes to broccoli"
- "fresh from the mint"
- "punch flavored candy"
- "candy for insects"
- "put your money where your mouth is"
- "tastes like old gym shoes"
- "for real suckers"
- "candy you can use as poker chips"
- "broken candy"
- "excellent source of germs and bacteria"
Special Notes about the 2017 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party on December 16th and even that means I'll have to get those stats updated). The real challenge is to see whether I will have enough time to create a puzzle each month this year! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.
Special Notes about this month's cache: Another last-minute special. Hopefully, there are no ambiguities this month. The squeamish might want to wait until there are solvers in Certitude.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
