    One of the caches nearby is a puzzle cache consisting of several rows of numbers. No hints, no description; just numbers. 98745632159 123656987
    are just a small sample of them. I’m not asking for the answer and you’ll notice I intentionally didn’t mention the name of the cache. I’ve never encountered this type before. How does one solve this? ❓

    check for different base combinations
    check for patters
    check for math trickery
    numbers may represent letters that spell something.
    check the source code of the page there might be a hint there
    there is probably a clue somewhere, lots of hiders put them in the title or the name its posted under or clever wording in the description.
    really need to see the whole picture to help more than that.

    Have you tried contacting the CO. Each puzzle is handle differently. Here is a book mark of a puzzle solving series in Florida that goes through different types of puzzles.

    OK, here is a good hint for this specific puzzle. Don’t make it too hard! Once you figure out the method, you could teach it to the average 3 year old in about 2 minutes, and they could then solve the puzzle for you.

    Thanks for the advice. We solved the puzzle and made it through the waypoints on this very satisfying multi. GC1KJJ0 Hunt & Peck has been added to our favorites list. Thanks again!
