Geocache Description:

Congratulations to pdxmarathonman on finding 1000 caches! This cache is placed in honor of his achievement. Like all of our puzzle caches, the cache is not at the posted coordinates.

This cache is named after the affectionate title that pdxmarathonman gave our cache The Pyramid of Menkaure. We're not exactly sure why he called it that. He loves our puzzles, although he does tend to make them harder then they really should be. Naturally, we had to make him another puzzle to celebrate his 1000th find!

This puzzle, like The Pyramid of Menkaure, is in the style of a "Paint by Numbers" picture logic puzzle as as popularized by Games Magazine, except, this puzzle uses triangles. That should actually make it easier. You should be able to find web references that can help you figure out how to solve it.

Here is the puzzle in JPG, PDF, Postscript.

This cache is an ammo can that is pretty well concealed. Please try to keep it that way. The hint should lead you to it.
