Description

UPDATE: The puzzle has been changed to display difficulty correctly, please resolve for MMMM challenge, sorry for the too-hard puzzle. James0116

UPDATE 2: Again, the puzzle was too hard, but much closer than the last puzzle, if someone who hasn't completed this puzzle wants to give it an attempt, that would be great, if you get over 2 hours let me know and in reward (so i can fix the puzzle again) I will give the coordinates to you, if you get under 2 hours to solve then I have done my job right again. Apologies to the last people who attempted the second puzzle, I now have a bit of a baseline for puzzles hopefully with this cache though, which helps for my final 3 puzzles I plan to release soon. James0116

The Cache is not at the location listed above, but you find the HQ for one of James0116's favourite hobbies.

Welcome to the Mid-Year Mystery Madness Months, a period in time where for months, mid-year the mystery madness comes to life.

The goal of Mid-Year Mystery Madness Months is to hide, solve and find mystery geocaches that have been submitted by other geocachers for this game and maximise your points as you do so.

This cache is a harder one for people to solve as a puzzle,

You are about to open a webpage that contains details needed to find this geocache. As the geocache owner, I ensure that this website should be safe to open. It has not been checked by Geocaching Australia or by any admins for possible malicious content. open this webpage at your own risk. https://www.jigidi.com/jigsaw-puzzle/3mlkjyte/ga27264-mmmm-scouts-sa-scouts-australia-take-3/?id=3mlkjyte

Once you complete the puzzle you will be given the corrected coordinates which you can place into the geochecker.

Another jigsaw highlighting your scouting interests finished aand the final hide located. We were fortuve to dodge the nate to find a parking spot close by so didnt have to dodge the early afternoon traffic. This part of Adelaide is always busy. We found the cache safely hidden away. Another blank log sheet so another {FTF} at 13:00.

Thanks for this cache James0116. You obviously enjoy your time with Scouts. We hope you get as much out of your scouting activities as our sons did.

The Cache puzzle has been made simpler and hopefully less or equal to 2 hours, please let me know if it isn't and I will maintain this again.

I have not tried this puzzle and plan not to with the intent that the next person who tries to be my sort of gunnie pig, as I need to get to bed for work and have scouts tomorrow evening. but if they get over 2 hours they will automatically be allowed to message me or email me and I will send the hint and corrected coordinates so I can fix the puzzle again.

Apologies to everyone including the admins for the issues I have caused, this week was my first week of work back in a while too, so a little more tired than usual, so making a few more mistakes than planned.

Thanks,

James0116

Took me 2 hours, 23 mins and 36 seconds to complete that puzzle,

I will disable it till I get a slightly lower puzzle (1 level lower should do it hopefully)

Solved in 2 Hours and 18mins and that wasn't rushing it, It was a little challenging. However not extreme.

The previous size of the jigsaw was 450 pieces and took a cacher over 8 hours to complete, while another cacher took 2 hours to complete just 22% of it.

Dropping the size to 272 pieces (still more than half of the original) will probably not put the solution time under 2 hours.

The Mid-Year Mystery Madness Months game and the puzzle solving is about being involved and having a bit of fun during the winter months. The Admin suggestion was to drop the jigsaw down to 100 pieces, which is approx 25% of the original size, and based on the 8 hours it took a cacher to solve it, should drop the completion time to around the 2 hour mark.

To enable all players to enjoy the puzzle, and to also ensure your puzzle is attempted by other players, Admin still believe the jigsaw should be at the 100 piece mark.

I would think how long it took you to complete the jigsaw would be a good guide. It appears you haven't completed it yet as your name is not mentioned on the leaderboard. I am not starting it again until I know it can be completed in a reasonable time. I have done my two hours on this puzzle already without receiving the coordinates.

James0116

Please let me know if it is still over 2 hours and I will adjust again,

If you can email me at [email protected], this will alert me quicker to fix puzzle quickly if required

This Puzzle has been updated so that it is more manageable in the timeframe

Apologies to admins didn’t see messages till now,

James0116

This puzzle will be fixed now to adjust to better size,

I’m still finding the sweet spot for 2 hours

As the puzzle associated with cache appears to be outside the timing guidelines, we will archive it. However, the CO is more than welcome to reduce the size of the jigsaw to a more manageable size. As a suggestion, a 100 piece jigsaw will more than likely ensure the puzzle can be completed within the maximum 2 hour time limit.

This action is being taken to ensure all mystery caches entered into the game meet the requirements as stated.

A reminder about the time limitations to solve a mystery for the game.

Difficulty Recommendations:

Difficulty 1 - Easy to solve within a few minutes

Difficulty 1.5 - Easy to solve within 10-15 minutes

Difficulty 2 - Relatively easy to solve within 30 minutes

Difficulty 3 - A somewhat challenging puzzle up to an hour to solve

Difficulty 3.5 - Quite difficult and be prepared for a mental challenge beyond an hour but no more than 2 hours to solve.

If this puzzle turns out to be taking cachers longer then the 2 hours to solve, the size of the jigsaw may need to decreased.
