Krypto Kakuro - 4/24/13

Long before I ever discovered geocaching puzzles I enjoyed doing kakuro puzzles, and I still keep a book of them in the car for times I have to wait around for my kids' events to start/finish.  However, until I came across today's Ohio puzzle I had never seen a:

Krypto Kakuro

Tomorrow we'll be in California.

Drawing A Crowd - 4/23/13

I love it when readers pass along unique puzzles that they think others would enjoy.  I had never seen one like today's Ohio puzzle:

Just Fix It - 4/22/13

The first time I ever heard of Reverse Polish Notation, I thought it sounded like a very politically incorrect description of the way certain calculators worked.  You can learn the real story in today's Minnesota puzzle:

Just Fix It

Tomorrow we'll be in Ohio.

Still In Training - 4/21/13

Back in 2011, I featured the California puzzle Puzzlers-in-Training, and I happened to discover recently that there is now a sequel to that one.  I definitely learned something new in solving:

Epic Gram!

Tomorrow, another cipher in California.

Two Shades of Gray - 4/12/13

Someone (you know who you are!) sent me a puzzle recently that he had enjoyed.   I had an idea how it might work, but it turned out that idea was wrong.  I knew there had to be at least one puzzle out there that used the idea I had thought of, and it turned out I was able to find one without too much trouble.  The funny thing is, both the puzzle he sent me and the puzzle I found had exactly the same name.  So, today I offer you:

Shades of Gray from California and Shades of Gray from Pennsylvania.

Tomorrow we'll be in California to kick off a whole week of cipher puzzles.

Yacht-Sea! - 4/10/13

When he was still a young child, our team-member "A" had a fascination with the subject of today's California puzzle.  He wanted to play the game constantly, and it was kind of frustrating for me that he could do the scores in his head faster than I could on paper.   Have some fun with:

Yacht-Sea

Tomorrow we'll be in down-state New York.

Mind Your Master - 4/9/13

Today's California puzzle, which was passed along to me by a reader, has a fun twist on a puzzle type I've featured here before.  It's always wise to:

Facetious Outlandishness - 4/4/13

Today's puzzle is from a fun series in Maryland that I came across recently.  The puzzles increase in difficulty and if you go and find one of the caches, it contains a solving hint for the next puzzle in the series.  Sounds like a fun way to implement a series.  You might prefer to go back and start with the Intro, but your official puzzle of the day (because I really like its name) is:
