Brainy...what a rude little cache Maddington, Western Australia, Australia
By LAXA on 11-Mar-18. Waypoint GC7KCJX

Seems to be missing.

time to go

After solving this puzzle awhile back I finally got the chance to come find the cache. Took a few minutes but located the prize easily. Thanks Laxa for the puzzle.

This was one of the easier LAXA puzzle caches I’ve solved lately. When I saw what was at GZ though I groaned. Thankfully after a bit of a hunt, Mr madradish found something unusual and duly retrieved the cache. Thanks for a fun puzzle and clever hide LAXA!

Nice little puzzle thanks LAXA.

Accompanied with KB for the day, enjoyed myself plus the weather is lovely for the geocaching... Thanks for the cache and hide.

Great cache. Luckily dad was helping me with finding the clues.For the MYSTERY AT THE MUSEUM
Thanks for the cache [:o)][8)][?][^]

I had no problems solving this puzzle, an easy one by LAXA's usual standard, but then was tricked by a not so easy LAXA hide! After having no luck trying to find it some time back I was very kindly given help by the CO as to how it was hidden - so today we ventured back to the park again and it became a very easy search, retrieve, sign and replace.
Many thanks again for your puzzle and for the cache LAXA.

Now that urch is back in the state, we thought we better get in another day of caching in the southern suburbs, trying to make inroads on the spate of puzzle caches that have popped up recently. We got a little side-tracked to begin with, wanting to convert a trio of previosly DNF'd puzzles into happier smiley faces. No problems finding it this time - don't know how we missed it last time, though it was just on dark that day and we were both pretty tired. Happy to report that all is good with the cache - names added, cache replaced as found, then off we headed to the next one. Thanks for placing and maintaining this one for the rest of us to come and find LAXA

Teamed up with old friend urch to do some puzzle cache finding - it is all fine and well solving puzzles as they pop up, but without actually coming and finding them, they don't get converted to smileys on the map. Even worse, they sometimes get archived and will never earn you a smiley, as has happened to me on more than one occasion. So that was our plan, nothing but puzzle caches today. The puzzle wasn't a problem but finding the cache once at gz certainly was, with us grudgingly conceding defeat and leaving empty handed. All up we came away with 24 smileys today and just this one blue frowny face, so pretty good all in all. Wonder what we missed. Thanks for setting up this puzzle and placing this cache for the rest of us to come find LAXA. We will be back!

I had no problems solving this puzzle, but despite a thorough search all round failed to come up with the goods.

A early find while taking the new geopup fir a walk. The puzzle had me stumped fir a while and then the light bulb moment tftc

This one looked as if it should be easy but had heaps of red herrings and garden paths before finally thinking about it more logically ( not one of my strongest points) was able to find the meaning of each symbol. Have found a cache in the exact same spot as this one a long time ago. Good to return for a second smiley. TFTC, laxa.

Solved some time ago; had spare time this arvo.
Thank you LAXA

Tricky find. TFTH

On our way into Perth to attend a medical appointment tomorrow. Had worked on some puzzles knowing this visit was in the offing and happy to have found all on our list. Had come past this gz on a previous trip but there were muggles on the nearby play equipment. All clear today to make a quick find of the nifty hide. Thanks LAXA

This was solved before leaving Hobart and on the list to find! As we approached GZ there were 2 children nearby but they were leaving which then allowed us to search. Got it! Thanks for the puzzle and the cache!

No problems solving the puzzles and nothing rude said either. Being close on another puzzle hunt we headed over. We had some idea about what the tricky hide might be and worked around to make the find. TFTC.

It didn’t take too long to figure this one out and we made the find after a few minutes at GZ!

After dropping our son at Curtin for an event we cached our way home. What better way to fill in some time than hopping from suburb to suburb grabbing some of the smileys on offer in the area, cheers and TFTC.

G’day there LAXA, I was in this area today and found your cache Brainy...what a rude little cache GC7KCJX. I added my name to the log book at 11:33 am on 28 April 2018. A huge thanks to you for placing this cache here for us (and others) to find!

This brings our total find count to 9543

Nice simple puzzle.....did I really just say that on a LAXA puzzle? The hide was another matter altogether. We searched, we climbed, we PAFd, we searched some more. Thank goodness ‘L’ came to our rescue & confirmed that it was missing. We supplied the materials to replace it, which was duly done( after we had signed the log of course). TFTC LAXA

Thanks to my step dad from Ooh Yeh for solving this puzzle for us. High muggle area stealth required here! And a tricky search for us five foot tall people

Out with Redlipsandunicorns for a morning of caching. Hubby solved this one at work so we headed off to find it. Had a bit of a laugh when we found the cache TFTC LAXA

Left home very early this morning as the weather was perfect, well I think 10 degrees is perfect! .
Had solved quiet a few puzzles around Thornlie/Gosnells over the past few months so attemped them today. Perfect success rate with 16 finds (14 mystery and 2 traditionals), so a great morning.
Had this one quickly solved soon after publication but being a NoR person didn't worry about a FTF attempt. Took a while but eventually found it. TFTC

A night caching run with a few others after a late call up from Barnzy12

LAXA I found your cache Brainy...what a rude little cache thanks for placing this hide for myself and others to

Dunsborough is where it’s all at this year check it out at GC7GXQA October 13th + 14th. Hope to see you all there.

After grabbing the night cache Sun Makes Light by Lyn Pat and Nathan behind Kelmscott we decided to grab the two puzzles nearby with SVKR.

Both were nice quick finds, although If you add the time spent on the puzzle it wasn’t so quick. Thanks for another neat puzzle.

Decided to join Barnzy12 and cravo10 on their now traditional Sunday evening caching run.

After chatting with Mr LAXA B12 C10 and I headed off to grab this one. Nice concept here.

LAXA SVKR_WA found your cache on 25 Mar 2018 at 20:25:37.

The log was signed and the cache replaced.

This find brings my find count to 2902

Thanks for placing this cache and contributing to this great game

When I saw this one published I was quickly onto the idea behind this one... Unfortunately I was very tired at the time & I got a cross on the checker! Awoke the next morning to realise my error & a was awarded with a tick

Headed out with the kids for a couple of hours & this was one of our stops along the way... This turns out to be quite a debacle of a cache for us after finding its lair in the second spot I tried but it fell off its little perch We then spent quite some time trying to lure the prize to no avail, which I feel terrible about but was made feel a lot better once the CO mentioned they were expecting it to happen

TFTC and the nice little puzzle LAXA I now see that Fratra had removed an archived cache from here, would have been nice to find that one too!

back in place

Cache seems to have disappeared into the rabbit hole. Replacement is on hand and will be dropped this afternoon.

I was in the area when the incident occurred. Safe to assume you’ll never know whether my name made it on the log or not. I’ve hidden a brainy puzzle previously and have another one waiting to be sure published in Victoria. Thanks.

The easier of the three new LAXA puzzles. A bit of googling and it all fell into place.
Quickly found a cache at gz with a blank log that looked nothing like the one Granett had signed so continued searching until we came up with the correct one. We have removed the other cache to avoid confusion (so if anyone thinks it is theirs, contact us)
TFTC LAXA this is find # 4427 for us.

emergency listing correction. It's meant to read E 115 58. ...
Sorry about that oversight!!

Woohoo FTF @ 8:10pm

Well that's a load off my mind. Been champing at the bit to keep my monthly FTF streak going and lucking out on several occasion this month already. Tonight some LAXA puzzles started hitting the inbox less than 5 k's from home so I set about solving the easiest one and was onto the theme straight away.

However the checker wouldn't agree, sent off a PM to the CO and was told I was correct so I bolted out the door. Some major roadworks en route delayed things by a few minutes but I arrived at GZ about an hour after publication and scanned the area with my torch. Deduced that a slight elevation change was required and felt the cache in the 2nd spot I checked. I remember finding a cache in this exact location a few years ago.

Awarding a favourite for keeping the streak alive, now standing at 44 consecutive months with a FTF

LAXA I found your cache at 8:10pm, this was the 1st of 1 finds for me today and brings my total find count to 4702. The cache was in good order and I replaced it as found.
