This cache is part of the Fizzy Fest 10K series.
When I'm not solving geocaching puzzles, I'm solving non-geocaching puzzles. Sometimes these are puzzle hunts (SUMS, MUMS, Cambridge, Galactic, etc) where fizzy is often a teammate. Sometimes these are puzzles scattered around the Internet. To find this cache you must solve not one but THREE puzzles that were inspired by one of my favorite online puzzle producers, Foggy Brume. He authors an online puzzle mag called P&A Magazine, and each of these three puzzle formats is usually present in each bi-monthly issue.
First up we have a classic Quotefall, with a couple of twists. Like Foggy I have removed all of the letters from their columns and you'll have to solve a series of clues to get the letters, then solve the quotefall. The quote I've selected can't be found on the Internet, because I thought it up and quoted myself. Wordplay is involved. But really, how else would you expect me to behave?
Next up is a Word Garden. Some words have been hidden in the grid. To find each, pick a starting point and follow the directional instructions, harvesting a letter at each step. If you choose the right letter to start each word you'll have...some words. Then what?
We'll finish up with a Quote Square. Each row and column contains a hidden word defined by the unsorted clues off to the side. Find them all and you should be left with a quote and its source, this time one that is NOT made up by me.
