You see, yesterday I found my 200th cache.
It was a mystery.
In another country than the one I live in.
Difficulty Four.
And my first FTF!
I stumbled upon it by accident while browsing for caches to take while me and Utilikiltarian are on our vacation in Sweden. Mysteries while on vacation is a rarity, but I got curious what this one was about and eventually mathematical equations were rolling around in my head like crazy. I HAD to solve this one!
It had already been up for weeks without anyone solving it, so of course the hope of maybe being the FTF was too much to miss out on.
FAIL!
After days and days of errors on geochecker I stare at the papers next to me, covered in scribbles and numbers. I was giving up, it just wasn't my turn.
Then I saw it.
The first number sequence, on the first paper... Could it be that easy?
CORRECT!
As it turned out i had the answer all along, I was just thinking too complicated, convinced it had to be multiplied, added, morphed.
But there it was, the green light. I squeaked (I know, I'm such a girl) and ran to the train, afraid that with my luck someone would find it during the 40 minutes it would take me to get there...
They didn't. I got it. I frikkin' rock.
Cache: "IDM One" Completed!
Geocaching - An obsession.
