a. You have solved the Geocaching Puzzle of the Day. (Fist pump = 3; Forehead palm = 3; Face plant = 4; FTF prize = 4)
b. You can't find the physical cache related to the Geocaching Puzzle of the Day and fear it has gone missing. (Favorite point = 0; Fist pump = 1; Forehead palm = 2; Face plant = 3; Foul play = 3; FTF prize = 4)
c. You return, find the Geocaching Puzzle of the Day, and decide it's a great geocache. (FTF prize = 3; Favorite point = 4; Face plant = 5; Forehead palm = 6)
d. You turn to replace the cache and lose your balance, resulting in an embarrassing fall. (FTF prize = 6; Favorite point = 7; Face plant = 8; Fist pump = 9)
e. You pick up yourself and replace the cache. As you're walking away, you see another cacher approaching the location and decide to watch awhile. The cacher does NOT find the cache but reaches into a bag and throws down a replacement cache nearby. (Foul play = 0; Favorite point = 1; Fist pump = 2; Face plant = 3; Forehead palm = 4)

f. You prepare the cache listing page for an event cache ... and it gets published. (Foul play = 2; Face plant = 3; Favorite point = 3; Fist pump = 4; Forehead palm = 5; FTF prize = 5)
g. You forgot about the event cache ... and YOU were the host (FTF prize = 3; Foul play = 4; Fist pump = 5; Forehead palm = 6)
h. A newbie cacher attends an event for the first time ... and LOVES it! (FTF prize = 6; Favorite point = 7; Foul play = 8; Fist pump = 9)
i. At your event, some trackables, in a container marked "Discovery Only," are taken; what's worse, they are never logged again. (Fist pump = 0; Face plant = 1; Foul play = 2; Forehead palm = 3)
j. On the other hand, a generous cacher has brought three unactivated travel bugs that can be part of the initial contents of new geocaches. (Favorite point = 0; Forehead palm = 1; FTF prize = 2; Foul play = 3)


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Congrats to turuthok for the FTS and to jimmydeans26 and planetfloton for the co-FTF!
