If I knew I'd have to stop halfway through a cache and go use the internet or try to find someone by phone who could do it for me, I'd never even start the cache. I'm sure there are others who will be happy to disagree with me, but that's my take. ![]() I don't cache because I like to solve 60 year old ciphers with internet based machines. Is there a way to make it easy for people to decode the clue once they find the settings, or is this whole thing just a dumb idea? :-) The best I can think of it to call someone at home - is there some other way to do this? (short of buying everyone an enigma machine of course.) I was thinking they could have someone at home with internet access and call them with the rotor and plug settings? in order to be able to decode the clue on-site a person would either have to own an enigma machine and lug it with them, or bring a laptop with internet access with them. I am a total WWII nut and would LOVE to have one) I found this Enigma Simulator on the internet. I know not everyone has an enigma machine lying around, and since they can only rarely be bought at auction for somewhere between $10,000 and $40,000 (yup, i researched it. So, I would like to encode the final clue using Enigma, and then the steps of the multi would give the geocacher the Rotor and Plug settings of the enigma machine so that they can then decode the clue and find the final. ![]() I am working on a multi cache, and I want to add a bit of a puzzle in there as well to make it interesting.
