I thought that Brockville could use a few puzzle caches, but in thinking about it, I know how anxious everybody gets when they see that "question mark" icon. This series is designed to help those who are a little reluctant to try a puzzle, give it a go. The various caches focus on differing methods of basic puzzle solving and will give one a starting point with their puzzle solving. The series basically amounts to a tutorial and all the caches are micro park and grabs. So let's roll up our sleeves and get started. Before we getting started as with most puzzles, THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES!!!
The Periodic Table
A periodic table is a tabular display of the chemical elements, organized on the basis of their atomic numbers , electron configurations , and recurring chemical properties . Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number (number of protons).
As you can imagine, the possibilities are endless for finding a set of coordinates in here. I've seen very basic number gathering in Periodic Table puzzles and I've seen some exceptionally difficult methods of extracting numbers, but for today, in keeping with the D 1.5 rating, let's keep it simple so here we go. The cache is located at:
N AB CD.EFG
W HI JK.LMN
A= Beryllium
B= Beryllium
C= Lithium
D=Carbon
E=Boron
F= Boron
G= Flourine
H= Nitrogen
I= Boron
J= Beryllium
K= Nitrogen
L= Canadianzombonium
M= Helium
N= Fluorine
As with all CZ caches, I hope you have fun, learn something and are safe from 5 foot snow drifts.
Cheers
CZ
