Have you ever read the food labels of food you buy at the grocery store? There are some strange things added to the food, likely the source of many ailments from modern society. Take a look at some: 

  • Amaranth
  • Xanthan gum
  • Propylene glycol alginate
  • polysorbate 80
  • Natamycin
  • Sodium sorbate
  • Propylparaben
  • Alpha-tocopherol
  • Gellan gum
  • Scarlet GN
  • Riboflavin
  • Ammonium lactate
  • Dipotassium guanylate
  • L-cysteine

Eh, what do these have to do with the puzzle? Well, you are just looking for numbers...


Note about the Triangle Puzzle Series: To be considered for the solver points, you must verify your answer with certitude (anonymous certifications will get you no points). All point scoring is arbitrary and subject to change. One challenge puzzle will be posted per month around the 5th and hint added on the 20th of the month. Please do not share the hints with others. Finders who did not certify their solution will get no points as well. Please note in your find log your position in the cache log and the TIME of your log. Logs without time will have scoring based on log submission time instead. Best of all, have fun.

 


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
