I've been told that too many of my cache puzzles involve square grids: crosswords, sudoku variants, mazes, dissections, etc. I don't want to cause a shortage, so this time I'm using circles instead.
In the picture below, there are 26 white regions contained within 10 overlapping circles. (There's also a grey region that isn't inside any of the circles; ignore that one.) I've written one letter of the alphabet in each white region, so that the letters in each circle form the name of one of the 10 digits: "zero", "one", "two", ..., "nine". Each of the 10 names occurs exactly once.
To find this cache, you'll need to do the same thing in the picture below. Here there are 28 white regions contained within the circles (and 2 grey regions not inside any circles). Put a letter in each white region, so that each of the 10 digits is spelled out in exactly one circle.
Six of the circles are labelled, from "A" to "F". Use the digits spelled out in those circles to get the coordinates; the cache is at:
N 40° 50.ABC W 124° 10.DEF
If you think you've figured out the coordinates, you can check them with certitude:
You can also see who else has solved the puzzle. Note: You can remain anonymous if you want to; incorrect guesses are always anonymous. (Puzzle makers, you can create your own certitude links here.)
If Certitude isn't working, you can use GeoCheck instead:
Congratulations to the first certified solver, VPPLAYER, and the first finder, humspuds.
