I looked at a few of Marc’s puzzles today. Yeiks! His is so not the direction most of mine would go. I tend to do more visual and divergent thinking kinds of puzzles.

As I live in Oconomowoc I would be willing to take him (or her) to a few caches locally and show him / explain how things work. That at least will get this process rolling and then the decision to go forward or not could be made. Feel free to forward my contact info.

Oh way to give all my hiding spaces away; now everyone will know where to look for my hides. 😥

A hat (one with bug netting would be nice at times)

One that marks all areas as read wouldn’t hurt my feelings either.

I think we already have this feature. Click on the “Mark all forums read” link at the below the forum listings on the main forums page. Let me know if this isn’t the functionality that you wanted…

You da man! 😉

there are puzzles and then there are puzzles. i love solving the ones that have some sensibility to them, math, logic. but the puzzles that have no earthly clue (like pictures of people)–forget it.

The ones I have in mind are solvable (granted you may have to struggle with some of the tougher ones). If I do this it looks like I’d surely have to provide some answers; perhaps an hour or two into the event….. Still thinking.

I think ye need to be findin yerself in these here parts. Belly of the Beast and Three Lock Box be local hides…Ye Scallywag!

I thought about having the first few hours hint free then bringing out the hint books (or outright solutions) for people to pick up and finish those they could not figure out.
Truth be known I have just over half the puzzles already competed and ready to be assigned to a location…. 😉 I’ve been tossing this around my head for a few weeks now.
It would have an underlying Pirate theme and be called:
“A puzzling Event: Captain 7’s Lost Bounty!”
But I’m still in the gaging popular opinion stage.

I hope you aren’t seeing these bugs in your sleep….. 😉
-thanks for checking on this; always nice to have someone looking over your shoulder (unless you are at work that is).

[Lostby7]

I had four options when I submitted this but the last one “Bring it on, I’m there” seemed to get lost when I posted it…

[Lostby7]

I had my money bet that it was you. Looks like I win the pool. I’ll leave half of in in one of your caches.

Tic-toc tic-tock…is it just me who is having a hard time waiting until July. I have all my gear (including waders) ready to go. Tic-Toc Tic-Toc…
