Bump! Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

=Andy_R: Time to say goodbye ...

For those interested:

The puzzle was based on constructing a black and white bitmap using the cache IDs (not the GC Codes) and converting them to binary.

  • The "no IDea" clue was a hint to take cache ID numbers from the caches identified by the GC Codes.
  • The puzzle hint of binary, meant that you needed binary numbers.
  • The "I can't see anything in them. Can you?" clue was intended to hint at an image (or a bitmap).
  • The title was a play on the .bmp extension.

Geocache Description:

A friend of mine has placed a cache, but before writing his cache page suffered a bump on the head, and now he has no IDea where he placed it.

It's all a rather sad tale actually. He was out caching, and climbed a tree to find a (shall we say) challenging hide when he fell. He didn't fall from a great height, so didn't break any bones but caught his head on the way down and was concussed. Now the poor chap can't remember what he was doing the day before the accident (when he hid the cache).

He doesn't appear to have saved a waypoint in his GPSr, so you'd have thought he would have at least written the coordinates down, but all he had in his pockets was a list of other caches:

It's got to be a clue, but I can't see anything in them. Can you?
