This could be like the game of fish. Have you done....????

I am so excited that I finally worked them out! That's THREE of my closest FOUR unfound caches being binary puzzles! Solved! The fourth unfound in the mix being The Lost Cause...um Cache!
Thanks so much everyone for your help! It's fantastic!

Aw gee, well that'd be kind of giving it away a bit really, which I told the cache owner I wouldn't. A clue, I live in Hobart.

Wow, wow, WOW

That toolbox does AMAZING things! I still don't quite have coordinates, ( ) BUT I'm one step closer...

Thanks C@W!!!

The toolbox is a handy little section that I hadn't discovered before! It didn't work for the line of code that I had. Would adding a zero before each 7bits work?

Out of my 5 closest to home unfound caches, three involve binary decoding...but a bit more complicated! In one puzzle I need to decode a message that is in 7 bit binary form, and after conferring with the cache owner, he said that he wrote a small program to do this. I think that is beyond the level...

Thank you very much, I got a very nice delivery in the mail today!

I just bought that exact one you referred to, from Dick Smiths store (local store for all sorts of electrical/computer/camera type equipment, so that I could have easy internet access on my trip interstate. And like mentioned, it was over the counter...but I needed to ring up to activate it which re...

That's an impressive stat! I have 70 unfound in a 15km radius from home, half of which are puzzles! Time to train my brain?

Yes, I thought the same thing...all these years and I didn't know that there was a spider season? What I did think is that you are more likely to get huntsmen inside when there's a big storm brewing. (??).

That reply amused me, because earlier today I was thinking about which frog I'd nominate and was intending to come back to this thread to nominate "frogeater" http://geocaching.com.au/cache/ga3850 ! I thought it was the most fantastic frog! Even with two teeth missing. (And I noticed he wasn't found...

One other suggestion, don't give up after 10 minutes

I reckon you're probably just more honest (in logging a DNF when you had a look) than a lot of people. But I agree that that thing of fixating on a certain area where that's where you think it should be can occur. sometimes when you assume it's on say, a particular side of a track, then it may only ...

I noticed on that link I posted that it said no longer available. But when I did a google search there was one the same available on Amazon to buy. So that's an option. I would imagine that something similar or a newer version would be available in the sports (or outdoor) stores. Oh and I noticed th...

I bought a Nike bottle and belt similar to this http://reviews.nike.com/9191/FC0082/nike-belted-hydration-pack-reviews/reviews.htm a couple of years ago. I found it great, especially if I put a hydration drink in it rather than water - as the bottle isn't so big. But it didn't jump around or jiggle ...
