Geocache Description:


NOTE: It is with great sadness that I have decided to decommission the Puzzle Solving 101 Final Exam. My original intent with the PS101 series was to give cachers the skills they need to tackle just about any puzzle cache out there. Unfortunately, very few cachers have taken that opportunity, and the vast majority of puzzles are still being found only by the same bunch of puzzleheads that were solving puzzles before I published the PS101 series.

I looked at the find counts on other caches in the area to get an idea of what types of caches people seem to like to find the most. I have reconfigured this cache accordingly in a way that I hope better serves the demonstrated needs and interests of the caching community at large.
