In the past few years, I haven't been very active in pursuing caches, but I have managed to maintain and add a few caches lately. Most of the caches that I have hidden are "puzzle caches". The cacher would have to solve a puzzle in varying degrees of difficulty to uncover the coordinates to the cache.
This page will offer some aid in the puzzles. Each cache has a unique GC code. Click on that code to go to the appropriate cache webpage. The caches below are in order of difficulty. Remember, it is difficult for me to assign degrees of difficulty since each person has their own strengths and weaknesses. So you may disagree.
I spent a good part of my life as a Cryptologic Technician (Collection) in the U.S. Navy. There, among other things, I learned about various codes. I thought that perhaps some of this may come in handy when producing a puzzle cache. Keeping that in mind, here are some of the puzzles:
Just to avoid confusion, the following colors are seen in this picture: Orange, Brown, Grey, Black, Yellow, Red and Violet.
Volume Flow
This isn't necessarily the correct formula, but at least now you know what you have to do.
- 1 dm3/s (kg/s water) = 13.20 Imp. gal (UK)/min
- 1 m3/s = 3,600 m3/h = 1,000 dm3(liter)/s = 35.32 ft3/s = 2,118.9 ft3/min = 13,200 Imp.gal (UK)/min = 15,852 gal (US)/min
- 1 m3/h = 2.7778x10-4 m3/s = 0.2778 dm3(litre)/s = 9.810x10-3 ft3/s = 0.5886 ft3/min (cfm) = 3.667 Imp.gal (UK)/min = 4.403 gal (US)/min
- 1 m3/h = 103 dm3(litre)/h = 16.67 dm3(litre)/min = 0.27878 dm3(litre)/s
- 1 ft3/min = 1.7 m3/h = 0.47 l/s = 62.43 Lbs.H2O/Min.
- 1 dm3(litre)/s = 10-3 m3/s = 3.6 m3/h = 0.03532 ft3/s = 2.1189 ft3/min (cfm) = 13.200 Imp.gal (UK)/min = 15.852 gal (US)/min = 792 Imp. gal (UK)/h
- 1 dm3(litre)/s = 60 litre/min = 3,600 litre/h
- 1 ft3/s = 0.0283168 m3/s = 101.9 m3/h = 28.32 dm3(litre)/s = 60 ft3/min = 373.7 Imp.gal (UK)/min = 448.9 gal (US)/min
- 1 Imp.gal (UK)/min = 7.57682x10-5 m3/s = 0.273 m3/h = 0.0758 dm3(litre)/s = 2.675x10-3 ft3/s = 0.1605 ft3/min = 1.201 gal (US)/min
- 1 gal (US)/min =6.30888x10-5 m3/s = 0.227 m3/h = 0.06309 dm3(litre)/s = 2.228x10-3 ft3/s = 0.1337 ft3/min = 0.8327 Imperial gal (UK)/min
This isn't necessarily the correct formula, but at least now you know what you have to do.
See, when I hear it, it sounds like this. If I told you more, I'd have to kill you.
Don't let all the color changes mess with you. If you're color blind, get help. Some of the dots are green, some are red. Not only that, some have "targets". It's the perimeter you want to pay attention to.
