A Freudian Response Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

MountainRacer: "an elegantly simple and nail-biting tough puzzle"
"Nicely crafted"
"Very nicely done [...] Loved the way it all came together."
"Nice crazy puzzle that I needed help on"
"a fun challenge and a nice walk to the find"
"This puzzle is insane."

Thank you all for the kind words and fun logs that Freud has garnered over the years. I have to admit, when I put the puzzle together I had no idea that it would develop such a reputation for difficulty-to-solve. It was so vicariously gratifying to read each log, relating the struggle to get the puzzle to make sense, the teamwork to which many seekers turned, and the exultation of reaching the solution and coming to claim the find. Well done all, and thank you again.

Oh, and...
...there will be another...
:)
