Geocachers, Welcome!

Posted on Wednesday 6 August 2008

So I see (if you’re a cacher) you’re trying to find your way through “Detention”. Let me tell you this - if you are seeing this as a result of trying to find an URL to get you to the next step - it won’t work.

I don’t say that because I don’t think you could hack your way in if you needed to - but I say it because the solution is far simpler than that. Really - all the search strings and URL manipulation in the world won’t get you any closer. Truly - honestly - seriously… I didn’t do anything that my mom couldn’t figure out (no offense mom!).

For those of you who are NOT cachers, and wonder what the HELL I’m talking about - see this Puzzle Geocache. (Please note - it’s a cache released to premium subscribers only - so you may not be able to view the details.)

Really folks - while “/ducky.php” amused me - it’s so in the wrong direction. As was… /detention/GC1EPZV.php//code :)

Now I know why VP does these nasty puzzlers. It’s fun to watch the hoop jumpin.

EDIT: I hope I didn’t offend anyone by any of that - I just got a little frightened by the amount of unusal URL access to the blog, that my host might just smack me for. The answer is but a click away from the cache page… 1.04% of the time.

    You need Javascript just to click the banner to see the home page? Manomanoman… Who still leaves JS enabled globally?

    (Just a friendly tease because I know you’re a geek…)

    I didn’t know you Mom could code though?

    Sub Cipher()

    ‘ Source Ciper in A3

    cCol = 1
    cRow = 3

    Cells(7, 1).Value = “”
    Cells(11, 1).Value = “”

    For t = cRow To cRow
    For i = 1 To Len(Cells(t, cCol))
    szChar = Mid(Cells(t, cCol), i, 1)
    If IsNumeric(szChar) Then
    ‘ Store Numeric Digits in A11
    Cells(11, 1).Value = Cells(11, 1).Text & szChar
    Else
    ‘ Store ALPHA Characters Only in A7
    If szChar Like “[a-zA-Z]” Then
    Cells(7, 1).Value = Cells(7, 1).Text & UCase(szChar)
    End If
    End If
    Next i
    Next t

    End Sub
