+Panther&Pine Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 (edited) I'm finally well enough to be putting out caches again and have been pondering a puzzle idea, however I'd like input. Below is the start of my puzzle, it isn't specific enough at this point to give any hints about the cache's final location. Let me know what you think, both on the idea and what you feel the rating should be. Septentrio Acer circinatum Erysimum cheiranthoides Esternway Edray Edarcay Platanthera stricta. Occidens Calypso bulbosa Erigeron humilis (minus 4) Streptopus roseus Myrica gale. Edited April 21, 2014 by MooseJawSpruce Quote Link to comment

Let me know what you think, both on the idea and what you feel the rating should be. Well, I hate to be negative, but the whole "list of 15 things: figure out what they have in common and make coords from it" genre of puzzles is, IMO, pretty tired. It's better than the "15 pictures" genre, but they are both pretty tedious to solve. I much prefer a puzzle with clever clues and hints that fit together to make a solution that can be arrived at by following a logical path. I don't think of massive Googling as fitting into that mold. Quote Link to comment

+The_Incredibles_ Posted April 21, 2014 Share Posted April 21, 2014 Maybe a 2 or a 3, depending on whether you give a hint. Googling puzzles aren't my favorite, but I know people who enjoy them. I say go for it. Quote Link to comment
