View Full Version : newbie question--seattle type puzzle?
ltlindian 07-22-2008, 03:18 PM I have looked at a cache in Bath that says it is a Seattle puzzle? What exactly does that mean? I can't make heads or tails of the clues to figure out the puzzle. I'm not looking for the answer but just a description or a place to start. Thanks.
Haffy 07-22-2008, 05:58 PM I would try right clicking on the cache page and then view source. Hope that helps

I believe the person who placed the cache in Bath, got the idea while visiting Seattle. Or saw this type of puzzle listed and it was in Seattle.
It happens quite often that while visiting an area, one sees a type of cache or type of hide and likes it enough to do the same back home.
My favorite...........a Rhode Island ammo can. Also known as a nano.
WhereRWe? 07-23-2008, 07:55 AM What's the cache name or number? Or can you post a link? :D:D

Here's the link to one of the caches. There are a couple of these types, all by Circles. I just don't know how to begin with this one. Thanks.
FuddsGirls 07-23-2008, 10:48 AM I could never figure this puzzle out either. There are many clues in other cacher's logs but I'm still stumped.
Gob-ler 07-23-2008, 11:13 AM Haffy gave you very good information. Right click and view the source file. It is a big file, but as you look down it you should see something familiar.
It can take several forms, but have a look and see what you find.
ltlindian 07-23-2008, 11:24 AM Ok, feeling pretty dumb here, but what is the source file?
Forget this question, I reread the post and now can find the source file. Not finding anything familar, but still looking! :)

Why do you have to make it sound so easy. It took me two good looks but there it is. Thank you sir. The clue wasn't doing for me, not obvious enough for me.:o
Haffy 07-23-2008, 05:04 PM See I told you so,just because I am down south now doesn't mean I'm not any dumber.....lol I am of some use once in a while. :D

Maybe so, but we note that you are already trying to adopt a southern accent! :p:p

Have you figured out what's inside a box of chocolates yet? :rolleyes::):p:D

Solving the puzzle is only half of the work. This one was a great hide too! Good luck.

I'll have to bring the kids, they're pretty good at nanos. Darn Kids:rolleyes:

Who said nano? :confused:
Gob-ler 07-24-2008, 09:59 PM It's not a nano.......Good Luck!
Team2hunt 07-25-2008, 07:17 AM It's not a nano.......Good Luck!
Now you've gone and done it. She's been "spoiled" again! :p I'm betting on the kids finding it first.
Mainiac1957 07-25-2008, 03:11 PM I have looked and looked with no luck. I am talking about the correct coords by the way not the cache. I have used the clues posted here, but nope. Any want to anonymously send me a PM hint I won't divulge the source.:D:cool::p;)
Opalsns 07-25-2008, 07:52 PM I want to say AH HA!!
But I'm not sure.
What I saw looked right except for the 4 numbers?????????

What cache were you looking for the hint on?

No help there but thank you Haffy and Gob-ler. OK, now I need to find the time to go find it since I did find the coordinates, at least I thought I did. Gob-ler asked me this weekend if I had the right coordinates. I thought I did but didn't look yet. And, my thoughts that it was a nano made someone upset. That was a guess if you think someone told me...
