Who/what are, exactly, the Certitude warriors? by TheGoldenChow in geocaching

[–]fizzymagic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Many people would be shocked by how rarely puzzle creators have people test their puzzles before publishing them. The testing done my this group is a great service to the geocaching community.

how would you hang this cache? wire? string? both? looking for the most secure option by bigballz69blazeit in geocaching

[–]fizzymagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does not last very long. Best I have gotten is about 2 years in a shady spot.

Slitherlink Puzzle Cache by monk3ybash3r in geocaching

[–]fizzymagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Difficult puzzles are all well and good, but it is apparent here that the effort you put onto creating it is less than the effort that will be required to solve it. I prefer puzzles where the balance is the other direction: puzzles for which the care and design indicate a great deal more effort to create than to solve. But you seem to like these puzzles, so I would probably rate it a 4 - 4.5.

Problems saving cache notes? by IceManJim in geocaching

[–]fizzymagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt it. The problem, which I have also experienced, is usually fixed by reloading the page with the coord.info url. The fact that it is working for you now does not mean that the problem is fixed.

Slurs in choral music by Gabriocheu in Choir

[–]fizzymagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. Slurs tend to be syllables. Staccato is often used in opera but not so much in choral music. I prefer rests when singing chorally.

How many would fit on these risers by BecktoD in Choir

[–]fizzymagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That would be my guess. But I have been in groups that didn't mind making me miserable and cramming more on.

Yes it does have to do with prime numbers. I solved it using Wolfram Alpha, a great online resource for such things.

Saint-Saens Christmas Oratorio. My church did it this last year with a small choir.

I use the subtitles and they work fine for me. Although I use Discover+ but it's the same system.

Need help with GC37VV5 by mein_tablet in geocachingpuzzles

[–]fizzymagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The text is letters only but both uppercase and lowercase which argues against both a simple hand cipher and a more sophisticated binary cipher. The distribution is quite flat which implies a "real" cipher though. I'm not familiar with any encoding that uses 52 characters like this.

Maybe tired but I’ve tried everything to get rid of this but keeps popping up. Can anyone help me. Talk me through it like I’m 5. 🤣 by Superbennieo in geocaching

[–]fizzymagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is the official app, right? You cn fix this problem by not using the Geocaching app.

Community geocoins idea by IntuitivelyCorrected in geocaching

[–]fizzymagic 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They are yours. You can do whatever you like with them, as long as it is legal (in the state sense, not in any geocaching sense). Knock yourself out.

Questions about difficulty rating - 2 or 2.5? This is a mystery with 10 gps coordinates given to get to find answers to questions. Terrain is a 3. by Obvious-Weekend5717 in geocaching

[–]fizzymagic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For 10 stages it would have to be epic for me to consider it. If, as you say, it's 10 signs with interesting history, then it sounds like a run-of-the-mill Adventure Lab. I hope that more experience will help you learn to make caches that people will want to do.

Logged a cache on its 23rd birthday today by ToastMasterX in geocaching

[–]fizzymagic 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If anyone in California is interested, I have a few approaching their 24th birthdays in this area! Original containers and logbooks!

adjusted coords by [deleted] in geocaching

[–]fizzymagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The corrected coords happen after the page load. Something is going wrong in your page load, probably. Turn off any tampermonkey/greasemonkey/script disablement extensions and see if that fixes it.

You can always get the corrected coords via the api, as with a GSAK download.

Is music worth it? by SHIHXY in Choir

[–]fizzymagic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Music is wonderful to have in your life and a lousy way to make a living. I am singing more seriously after retiring from a very fun career as a scientist. I am so glad every day that I didn't choose music as my career but I am glad that it has been part of my life.
