Paint By Numbers Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

uciphd: Based on the last log, I'm afraid this cache is missing. The cache was under the stairwell by the large painted mural, but if they recently painted, I'm sure they took the paint can. How ironic that 'Paint By Numbers' was ultimately done in by a painter. Sorry about the lost TB. Thank you to all who visited.

Geocache Description:


Cache is not at the posted coordinates; solve the Paint by Numbers logic puzzle below (there is a single, unique solution) to find it. If you’ve never seen a puzzle like this before, you may want to consult Wikipedia. Since the resolution of this puzzle is quite poor, I've included a link to a larger version of the puzzle. You may also want to bring a coin or key to open the final container which (obviously) is a paint can. PLEASE, replace container upright (it will fit) as you found it. The cache is in a potentially high-traffic area, so PLEASE EXERCISE STEALTH when retrieving/replacing, and don't paint yourself into a corner!

Side note: The original plan for this cache was to hide it in front of a paint store, but the reviewer didn’t like that spot due to cache saturation. The new cache location still fits with the paint theme, just in a different way.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
