Marc, the gc number is in the OP. We got it, btw. I was just impatient, while Trekkin’ was on the trail of a solve working at the other computer downstairs!

All it says is BIN fives.
I almost think this one could be a 5 difficulty, cause it seems like it requires special knowledge to understand. If I knew how to discern where the numbers break, I’d be happy to sit and hand decrypt it. Not that different than S4, and I managed that!
Anything I google to try and gain some insight seems to require a basic knowledge of coding. I don’t know if I’m converting to ACSII, hexidecimal or what! I’ve tried them all.
What I meant was what did the cache owner say when you asked for a clue.
Looks like you have it figured out anyway, so no matter. This isn’t a 5 difficulty though. 4 is pushing it, other than the tedium of hand decoding the whole thing.@Trekkin’ and Birdin’ wrote:

the gc number is the OP – huh??
If you meant amita’s dilemma……not sure on that one!
Marc, She means the GC Number is in the “Original Posting”
Social Networking Lingo!!
I’m quoting amita17’s post – what cache is she referring to!
this was a hard one really made me think even asked for a clue from the owner which did`nt help at all

I can’t find it. I remember it was WAY too many pages to print, so I just printed the binary code chart I got from a website, and was translating it from the monitor.
It had to be in the Fox Valley. And it may have been on the Jan/Feb. Lonely cache list. The word binary is not in the cache name, but I am thinking it had base or zero or one in the name. I will no doubt stumble across it again.
To refer to a previous thread on how organized am I in my geocaching–not very. I have papers all over, notebooks, folders… if I find it, I will ask you if you have another suggestion for a solve.
OR, is it one of yours, and you know this? 😈 🙂
gotta be GCRW51 Something Technical About It
this one certainly comes to mind when reading Amita17’s last post!

Well, if that’s not it, it is another just like it! Yes, that is a 50 page puzzle I wouldn’t print but would try to solve on screen. I will reread your PM suggestions about the solve.
Thank you 😀

Yes, that’s it! The one I point out in my puzzle class as one NOT to print!
I know what puzzle I’m working on today! 😆

That’s just nuts! A rather easy solve when you have the right idea about it though…

Mark, Please tell us you’re in computer sciences or something like that! Although now that Trekkin’ “gets” this kind of thing, it’s not as tough as it first seemed.
No, not computer science or anything like that.
Just luck sometimes.
Puzzles caches are really potluck. I might look at one several times, and not ‘see’ anything. Benny glances at it, and says right out what the solution is!
There are several procedures to follow or check on when encountering a new puzzle. I outline them in my Puzzle class info.
There are new ones coming up all the time……
