that is the problem INTERPRETATION that is why some PUZZLE caches involving
say a MOVIE or statue. The owner will "see" one thing while another will
"see" another, then when the owner asks a question on their "view" what is
the correct answer? if there is any room for a possibility of a different
answer it shouldn't be included... but then again some people "try" to be
(insert word) and use it as a trick of somesorts, which in the end IMHO
degrades the cache experience...

then again ESP would be special equipment wouldn't it?

My guess is that nobody has provided you with their work yet, and you haven't taken the time to sit down and watch it...have you? :)

Bottom line is this. There are different types of caches for everyone. Some like locationless, some like virtual. Some get a thrill out of walking through a park looking for words/phrases/numbers to complete a 'puzzle' in order to find the final location. Some use cryptography to 'hide' their cache clue in the cache page, requiring you to figure out which method of encryption is to be used to decipher the clue. Also, some have used 'fuzzy' math involving aircraft that one must figure out in order to determine the cache coordinates.

Stating that if there is any room for a possibility of a different answer and not including it for that reason confuses the hell out of me. I look at it this way. You're sitting in a classroom working on some algebra/trig/calc....whatever. You verify your answers and discover that some of them are wrong..or, 'different'. Does that mean the ones you answered 'differently' shouldn't have been included in the mathbook because of the possibility that you could have solved the equation with a 'different' answer? What about anyone else in class on any of the other equations in the book?

If I am completely off the mark in assuming this statement had to do with a certain new cache of mine, then by all means I apologize. However, I know that not everyone is going to try for, or enjoy working on this or any of my other caches. I've come to learn that I can't please everyone all the time, and I'm not going to try and accomplish such a monumental feat. When this cache was created, it took quite a bit of time on my part. In fact, the first find came within 96 hours of it being posted, by an individual with very few finds! One cacher is going to make a special trip to Arizona for this cache, and also to attend an event cache here at some point in the near future. Another is going to make a trip from Tucson for it. Apparently, I've found a niche with this cache, which leads me to believe I've put it together at least somewhat well.
