16. These #@&% Puzzles - Graduation Bonus Cache Mystery Cache

Here are some final thoughts before you head out to find all the many puzzle caches you'll hopefully be solving now that you've completed this #@&% series of puzzle lessons.

Reward good cache behavior with a nice log. If you liked the puzzle, the cache, and/or the location, take a little time to say so. The nicer the cache experience is, the more it deserves a nice log.

It doesn't have to be a Pulitzer-Prize-winning novel. But please recognize that if a cache owner has put a lot of time, effort, and money into a cache, they deserve a considerate log entry. Here are some tips: The Geocaching Blog: 5 Tips for Writing the Best Log in the World

Consider being generous with "Favorite" points if you are a premium member. They are a great way to reward good cache behavior. I admit up front that this is a selfish request on my part. There are SO MANY caches out there that I rely on "Favorite" points to help me choose which caches to find in my limited cache-seeking time.

Here is what you've been waiting for to get to the final cache:

Here's a list of the Bonus Numbers you should have gathered from the #@&% Puzzle log books: (If you visited a cache but lost or forgot to get the bonus number, let me know.)

Finally, I wish to extend hearty thanks to the following people:

- Florida cacher ePeterso2, who's series of "Puzzle Solving 101" caches were the inspirations for my "Puzzle Solving 101" classes and this series of caches.

- Michigan cachers The Allen Cachers, who have the original How Do I Solve All These $@! Puzzle Caches?, , and who were gracious enough to let me borrow their delightful cache title.

- Everyone who has taken the time and effort to find one of my caches. Thank you!

As I said, this is one of a series of "How Do I Solve..." caches. They are spread out in different neighborhoods. It might help to solve them in order, but you don't need to. I tried to make these easy to understand, but if you have any questions about them, please ask.

Here are all the caches in the series. They are also posted in a "How Do I Solve..." bookmark list.

Have fun solving puzzle caches! And remember ...
