D'oh! - 2/28/17

Today's puzzle takes us to Canada's Alberta province.  Everybody makes mistakes now and then ... fortunately it's not usually in front of millions of people.  It was a shame that the Academy Awards had such a huge mix-up the other night just as things were:

Bless you! - 2/27/17

I was thinking recently that I hadn't done a nice little pencil and paper puzzle in quite a while.  Not long after that I happened to come across this example in Ohio:

Venus de Milford - 2/25/17

I'm planning to be back down to the Tri-State (NY-NJ-PA) area for another of my friend Captain Math's big geocaching seminars today.  I am curious how much snow there will be down there. Two years ago I went down for the event a day early and we ended up getting walloped with snow overnight.  The event was postponed, so I had to go home and come back two weeks later.  Before my first trip to the area, three years ago, I had solved all kinds of puzzle caches in preparation for my visit, but I only found a couple of them.  I tried lots of others but it basically turned into a tour of the area's finest puzzle caches covered in 18 inches of snow.   This was my first stop:

How insulting! - 2/24/17

Today's puzzle takes us to California.  A while back I came across a Shakespeare insult generator (I can't remember if it was a flip-style book or a set of magnets ... there are also several of them online) but until that point I hadn't realized how creative the Bard was in his put-downs.  One of the ones that was generated for me was: "Thou rancorous milk-livered pigeon-egg!"  I wonder what he would have had to say about these:

A Blue Ribbon Puzzle - 2/23/17

Today we go back to Minnesota for another one I received as a recommendation:

Case Study - 2/22/17

I attended a meeting the other day at which part of the discussion involved a math course focusing on different applications in business like calculating a break-even point, figuring out how much product to order and how to price it most effectively.  Then I met up for lunch with a fellow cacher who, in a rather remarkable coincidence pointed me to this New York puzzle:
