Welcome to the
Frederick Puzzler's Corner!
This monthly event encourages puzzle solving in the geocaching community.
All are welcome, however if you are feeling at all unwell or suspect you have recently been exposed to COVID19,
PLEASE STAY HOME.
We will be following State and Local Health guidance, so be prepared with your mask. Presently, an Indoor Mask Requirement is in effect.
If you have a specific puzzle or puzzling topic you'd like help with, feel free to make note of it in your Will Attend log so others can prepare to help.
On this day nineteen years ago in 2003, while returning to Earth from an orbital mission, the U.S. space shuttle Columbia broke up catastrophically at an altitude of about 40 miles (60 km) over Texas. NASA and the world lost seven extraordinary people that day: Commander Rick D. Husband; Pilot William C. McCool; Payload Commander Michael P. Anderson; Mission Specialists Kalpana Chawla, David M. Brown, and Laurel Clark; and Payload Specialist Ilan Ramon (1st Israeli astronaut).
Here's the usual spiel…
This event is open to all geocachers, no matter what your statistics say or whether you even like puzzles! Newbies and addicts, socialites and lone wolves, mark your calendar.
If you've got a puzzle or mystery cache that's currently got you stumped, this event is for you!
This is an unstructured think-tank assembly where you can collaborate on the latest tantalizing quizzler on your radar. Much learning comes from working with others to solve a targeted teaser, and there may be a short tutorial thrown in once in a while. You don't have to work on puzzles to attend; there are always good stories to be heard and told. However, you'll have plenty of others to bounce ideas around with, and you might discover someone has solved a puzzle using a similar technique. We continue to see successes and progress at each gathering.
For the puzzle junkies, bring your puzzle paraphernalia - flagged caches, laptop or tablet (Wi-Fi is available), theories, library card, worksheets, (sp)eye glasses, flight plans, Enigma machine, abacus, scratch paper (don’t forget your writing instrument) - you never know who, or what, will show up, and from whom you can gain an advantage. Have you recently cracked a tough one and want to see others’ wheels spinning? That could be very entertaining! Yes, we have regular head-slapping moments!
