NCSSM Multi-cache Series Puzzle #2
This is one of a series of puzzle caches dedicated to the North Carolina School of Science and Math located in Durham, NC. There are eleven preliminary caches and a Final Cache. Each represents a class a student at the NCSSM may take, and a potential question that may (or may not) appear on a test given at that school. Links to all twelve caches can be found at the bottom of this listing. For each preliminary cache you find, you will earn access to a jigsaw puzzle piece which will be used to help solve the final. Note that each preliminary cache can be found independently, however you will need to find all of them in order to solve the final. When you put the jigsaw pieces together, clues on the Final Cache page will help you find the last cache.
NOTE: The Cache is NOT at the Above Coordinates!
None of the caches are on school grounds but are located within 2 miles of the above location. Some of the caches are located on park property and others on public property. Please do not trespass on private property when accessing any of the caches.
If you are a current student or alumnus or NCSSM, please put that in your cache log below. Go Unicorns!!
Puzzle For The Geocache Coordinates: Music
The students at the North Carolina School of Science and Math do more that just hit the books hard. They have their down times as well, during which times you can hear music coming from many places on campus. Music is important not only for pleasure and entertainment, it has been shown to help develop the mind. How well is your mind developed? Listen to the music on the MP3 from the link below to determine the coordinates.
