Leakage from a Cluttered Mind

I’ve not paid much attention to fizzymagic’s puzzles for some time, but got motivated to try one last night. Linear Vuct: Rationale is a matrix division problem. I don’t remember how to do that, but a bit of web searching helped me out, and applying a tool that I found, the answer just popped out. Found it at 1:43 PM.

It was a quick drive over to Juliana’s Cache, which was very close to where No Hints Cache used to be. It was quick find at 2:03 PM.

Random Walk In The Park is another puzzle cache that involves orienteering. With a little bit of help from the web I figured out how to use the GPSr to do this. It was time consuming (and I suspect other folks in the park wondered what I was doing wandering back and forth across the grass. I looked around for a while at my end point, but when I didn’t find the cache I used the hint. Found it almost immediately. I think I messed up one of the intermediate way points, but only in distance not direction, so I was able to find the cache area anyway. Completed this one 2:58 PM.

The next one for the day was Bart: Dublin Pleasanton Station. It was in an Oracle parking lot. I didn’t see it the first time I checked the obvious location. Finally completed this one at 3:21 PM.

The last one I did was Fuzzy Friends #1—a multi-cache at the Dublin animal shelter. I’ve been putting this one off for a long time. It was pretty easy to gather the data to generate the coords for the cache location. The cache was concealed quite well—perhaps I was lucky to find it as quickly as I did. It’s in a covered hole on the back of a post of a guard rail right opposite a fire hydrant. Completed at 3:52 PM.
