More Numb3ers - 12/30/13
For one of our last puzzles of 2013, I thought I'd share this California one with the number thirteen in the title. I like the fun way the CO allows remote solvers to confirm their solves on:
Numb3ers: "Thirteen"
Tomorrow we'll celebrate New Year's Eve in California.
Numb3ers: "Thirteen"

Boxes for Boxing Day - 12/26/13
Today's puzzle takes us to Finland, where you'll get to practice a skill I am notoriously bad at. Unfortunately this skill comes up frequently in sewing, and I have been known to cut and/or sew pieces together in every possible wrong way. I never realize I have goofed up until after I have it put together and it turns out wrong! Have some fun with:

Tomorrow we'll be in California.

Just Bluffing - 12/23/13
A couple of months ago I featured a puzzle with a dogs playing poker theme. When I came across today's Florida puzzle, I knew it would be a good follow-up to that one. I love the version of the classic painting in this puzzle:
Just Bluffing
Tomorrow we'll be spend Christmas Eve in Idaho.

Kama Sutra Cipher - 12/22/13
This log from today's Australian puzzle sold me on sharing it with you today:
"Kamasutra and Geocache ... Two words you would never expect to be used in the same sentence." This one was definitely a new cipher for me:

Rear Window - 12/19/13
Earlier this year I had the chance to visit the virtual cache "It's a Wonderful Life," and I expect many people are enjoying that movie for the umpteenth time this year. Jimmy Stewart has always been one of my favorite actors ... I think I first saw him on TV in "No Highway in the Sky," playing a scientist convinced that an airplane's tail was going to fall off. Today's Pennsylvania puzzle features another of his classic movies:
Rear Window
Tomorrow we'll be in France.

A Merry Xmas on Christmas Island - 12/18/13
If you've been following this blog for very long you'll know that I happen to love holiday-themed puzzles. As such, it shouldn't come as a surprise to hear that I was tickled to come across a puzzle located on Christmas Island entitled:
A Merry Xmas
P.S. If you don't remember exactly where Christmas Island is, click on the map on the cache page and zoom out. It was quite a surprise to me to see that geocaching.com reports its location as being 10,219.1 miles north from my home location in New York(!) I guess that's one way to think about it.
Tomorrow we'll be in Pennsylvania.

Hallelujah! - 12/17/13
I enjoyed writing holiday-themed puzzles in 2011 and 2012 for our monthly puzzle series, and even though we didn't keep up the puzzle of the month this year, I thought it would be fun to continue this part of the tradition, perhaps prompting central New York puzzlers to say:
Hallelujah! It's Another Holiday Music Puzzle!
Tomorrow we'll pay a visit to Christmas Island.

Remember - 12/14/13
Today's California puzzle is a difficult one to get through, but not for the usual reasons. It was written as a tribute in the aftermath of an unspeakable tragedy and asks us to:

Tomorrow we'll have another California puzzle.

Rush Hour - 12/12/13
For today's Ohio puzzle you'll have a little fun with:
Rush Hour
Tomorrow we'll be in New York's Long Island.
I recently had an inquiry about following the blog by e-mail, so I investigated and added a gadget to the page for that purpose. I have no idea how well this feature works, but figured it was worth giving it a try. Every so often you'll see one publish prematurely, but I hope to keep those to a minimum.

Santa's 2nd and 4th - 12/10/13

Tomorrow we'll be in Greece.

Santa's Fifth - 12/9/13
My experience with today's California puzzle echoes the finder who wrote: "When I saw the title, I wasn't sure whether the reference was to a musical composition, e.g. The Fifth of Beethoven, an extreme weight loss program, or Santa has been hitting the Holiday Cheer a trifle early." See what you can make of:
Santa's Fifth* Link fixed. Sorry!
Tomorrow we'll hang around in California another day.

O Christmas Tree - 12/7/13
Today we pay a visit to Canada's Ontario province where there is a geo-art Christmas tree full of Christmas puzzles. I chose this particular one because I remember Christmas caroling with my mother's French students and singing the song in the title of:
Christmas Tree: Vive le Vent:
Tomorrow we'll be in Minnesota.

A Square in China - 12/6/13
Today we pay our first virtual visit to China. At the time I looked into it, there were only 14 puzzle caches in the whole country, so I guess it wasn't too surprising I hadn't featured one so far. The puzzle is:
A magic square ?
Tomorrow we'll pay a visit to a geo-art Christmas tree in Canada's Ontario province.

Noel Enigma - 12/5/13
Christmas is coming, so I thought a good puzzle for today would be this one, from Colorado:
Noel Enigma
*Note: This puzzle had the wrong link, so I've updated it. The other one was a perfectly nice puzzle, (I'm planning to feature it later in the month) but it's not the one I'd meant to share for today.
Tomorrow we'll make our first virtual visit to China.

Miriam and Christoper - 12/2/13
Today's California puzzle, created way back in early 2004, is:
Miriam and Christopher Moss
Tomorrow we'll be in California another day.
It's December and that means we're nearing the end of another full year of Puzzles of the Day. I've enjoyed hearing from a few new readers lately, and am planning to continue in 2014 for as long as it remains fun, and doesn't start to feel like work. I'm considering doing a "best of" puzzle once a week, going back to a previously featured puzzle that I really liked. I'd also like to have a "viewer's choice" once a week, featuring a puzzle submitted by a reader. Those submissions are really appreciated, so I'm hoping that in 2014 every regular reader would be willing to submit at least one fun puzzle they have created or enjoyed. You can send it by commenting on any puzzle (I screen comments before they publish) or by contacting me (teamajk) through geocaching.com.

For Grammie - 11/20/13
Today's puzzle from New York's Long Island got me thinking about my own "Grammie," and wondering what she would think of all the technology we have today.

No, No - Grammie

In doing so, I discovered that there is new entry in the mystery series written by The Rat. I haven't had a chance to read it yet (I have it on good authority it will be waiting for me under the tree on Christmas morning) but I decided I shouldn't wait to congratulate the author and feature another of his fun crossword puzzles here. See if you can break into:

Focus! - 10/16/13
Sometimes I start a puzzle only to be distracted by other things. More often, though, I find that a good puzzle can distract me from the other things I should be doing. As mystery author Lawrence Block blogged recently: "Nothing so spurs one’s creative energy as the need to avoid essential work." I wonder how many folks reading this today have found that to be true?
Whatever the task, today's puzzle from Canada's Alberta province reminds us how important it is to:
Focus!
Tomorrow, another from Alberta.

The Bigger the Better - 10/10/13
The first geocaching event I attended was a 10/10/10 celebration held by the honoree of today's puzzle. It's hard to believe that was already three years ago now. The event was exceptionally fun, because a puzzle (which I featured previously) published during it, and I collaborated with some folks to get the solve and make the find right then. Today's central New York puzzle is:
Vanelle's Golden Ammo (The Bigger, The Better #5)
Tomorrow we'll be in Canada's Alberta province.

Fillomino - 10/7/13
Today's puzzle from Germany is an example of a puzzle type I came across recently while testing a puzzle for a friend. You can easily google-translate what is written for the rules given below the puzzle itself. I just love the German word for puzzle, "rätsel." To me it sounds like "pretzel" which is a great description for many of the puzzles we have to untangle. Have some fun with:
Logikrätsel 3 FILLOMINO
Tomorrow we'll be in California.

1000 Days of Geocaching Puzzle of the Day - 9/26/13
Today marks the 1000th day of the Geocaching Puzzle of the Day. What started out as a challenge to myself to see if I could solve a good puzzle for every day of the year has turned into an almost three year long odyssey - and what a fun trip it has been. While it's also been a lot of work, I have really enjoyed seeking out clever, unique, and intricate puzzles written by wonderfully creative people, many of whom I have had the pleasure of chatting with via e-mail, and some of whom I've even been able to meet in person.
Since many cachers mark the 1000 cache milestone with a golden ammo can, I thought it would be fun to share a golden ammo puzzle with you. I originally had a different puzzle in mind, but since I recently celebrated my 1000th find with a fun golden ammo can puzzle puzzle created by Ithacadoodle (one of the puzzlers who got me into this hobby in the first place), I hope you'll indulge me for sharing:

Tri-al by Fire - 9/23/13
I recently came across this tri-bute puzzle in honor of a puzzler who lives in the Research Tri-angle area of North Carolina. Since both the CO and the honoree work as part of a tri-o of solvers and are regular readers here, I thought they might like the chance to tri-umph over today's Illinois puzzle, which is another tri-doku:
Tri-al By Fire
Tomorrow we'll be back in California.

Invisible Ink - 9/13/13
Today marks the end of our visit to Utah and one final puzzle (for now) from Mom the Cook and cashnhubby:
Invisible Ink
I love it that a fellow cacher thought of this blog as a means to thank the CO's for their creativity and wish them well. I would like to add my thanks and best wishes to all of the puzzle makers and solvers out there who have made this such a great hobby. You are not only clever, witty, and sharp individuals, but from everything I can see, genuinely nice people as well.

The Gambler - 9/9/13
In case you missed the story behind this week's featured puzzlers, I recently got a message from a reader asking me if I had seen the work of the Utah puzzlers Mom the Cook and cashnhubby. He was interested in having me feature some of their puzzles as a way to wish them well and thank them for all the inspiration they have provided him as a puzzle maker. Being a big fan of Kenny Rogers back in the day, I had to include:

Today's California ecrane puzzle features a television show which is watched regularly at our house, although not usually by me. I have heard enough of it to know that the dialogue can be quite fast-paced and witty, and you never know what one character is going to come up with after he says:

The Art of Noyes - 8/19/13
One of the things I have enjoyed about this puzzling hobby of mine is getting to know puzzlers by the puzzles they write and the logs they post. On my cachecation to Florida earlier this year, I was tickled, yet surprised, to discover a familiar name in some of the logs I was signing: ecrane. I recognized his name because I knew he had written some fun puzzles ... in California, though, not Florida. In honor of that fun coincidence I thought it would be great to spend a week looking at some of his California puzzles. We'll start things off with:
The Art of Noyes
Tomorrow, another of ecrane's California puzzles.

FL-ACA 8/8/13
One of the things I enjoy about doing this blog is seeing cases where puzzles I have posted inspire other CO's to create their own versions of those puzzles. In a few cases, I have even been able to make finds on those 2nd (or even 3rd) generation puzzles. Today's central New York puzzle is an example of one such puzzle I hope to be able to go and find soon:

Grand Theft Puzzlery - 8/5/13
The CO of today's Illinois cache was inspired by a puzzle seen on vacation (or, "cachecation," as it says in the description), and created a version back at home. I love the way the CO gives proper credit to the original puzzle maker instead of committing:

More Figure Logic - 8/2/13
Early last month I wrote about one of my new puzzling friends and her work as a math/logic puzzle creator, and featured the first in her new logic puzzle cache series. Since then I've been able to work through the rest of them (that have been published so far, anyway!) and was even able to go and make the finds. These definitely got trickier as they went along, so it will be interesting to see how I do with anything harder than:

I recently passed through Hershey, PA, and loved seeing the names of some of the streets there. I can just imagine being able to give these directions to my house: "From Chocolate Avenue, go south on Cocoa Avenue, then west on Almond Drive and around to Goodbar Court." Yum. Just like those street names caught my eye, this puzzle from the same area caught my eye because of its name. It's always fun to find a cache that:

Figure Logic - 7/9/13
One of the things I love about this "puzzling" hobby is the interesting folks that I have been able to meet, both in person and on-line. One of those interesting people belongs to the caching team that are the CO's of today's central New York puzzle. She has a long history of publishing this kind of puzzle (and other kinds as well) in magazines like "Math and Logic Puzzles" and it was fun to see her put that talent to use in creating a series of geocaching puzzles starting here:
Figure Logic 1
Tomorrow we'll be in Pennsylvania.

Tintin in Paris - 6/28/13
A new caching friend of mine was planning a trip to Paris recently, and asked if I had ever looked at the Tintin series of puzzles caches, some of which are located there. I had not seen them before, but we set out to see what we could make of them. I wasn't sure what I was in for: Tintin was a character I knew nothing about, all the puzzles had with medium to high difficulty ratings ... and many were written only in French. What we found was a challenging, complex group of multi-layered, well-done puzzles. This one was a good starting spot, since it included an English translation:
Le Secret de la Licorne (Be sure to translate the message when you get the green light).
Tomorrow we'll be back in California.

Dominion - 6/24/13
My caching team-member "A" (age 14) recently suggested that our next puzzle cache be modeled after one of his favorite games, and explained to me just how he would go about setting it up.

For today (also known to some folks as Intergalactic Star Wars Day) I'm featuring a Star Wars themed puzzle from Canada's Ontario province. This cache was one of a group of caches published as part of a Star Wars themed event, where no one was to start searching before a specified time. I've never participated in this kind of event, but I think planning your strategy would be fun. Take a look at:
