FYI – Puzzlehead.org along with the PS101 series and the Lamp Skirt Micros 101 Final Exam were mentioned on the May 17, 2009, episode of Podcacher’s podcast (starting at about 12:40 into the podcast). Whoo-hoo! Thanks, Sonny and Sandy!

Podcacher is a great service, one to which all puzzleheads and geocachers should subscribe.

I went by the PS101 Final Exam today and copied down all of the brain teasers that the finders have left in the log book. I then loaded them into the Brain Teaser widget. Thanks to all of the finders who contributed!

I am often asked how I go about solving puzzles. As I’m interested in geocaching, I decided to create a series of geocaches that teach people how to solve some of the most common types of puzzles as well as to give them the skills to solve other types of puzzles.

The result of this effort is the Puzzle Solving 101 Series of geocaches. Each cache in the series offers a lesson on a particular topic of puzzle solving. The description of each cache offers a description of the topic as well as solving tips. Each lesson also contains an example to solve using the tips presented in the lesson – the solution to each example puzzle is the location of a geocache in Broward County, Florida.
