Ok, that's a cry for answers:
* How many spheres are in the diagram?
* Using Interleaved 2 of 5 encoding, what does the bar code on the white sphere on the left read?
* Considering red-hued spheres (red, purple, orange, black) as a '1' and those without as a '0', what number does each line represent in decimal form? (In binary, each line reads '0101010', or '42' in decimal form.)
* What number do the blue-tinted spheres (blue, green, purple, black) spell out? (Similar to a color blindness test.)
* What position in the grid does Earth occupy?
* What number is represented by Roman numerals spelled out by the yellow-tinted spheres (yellow, orange, green, black) in the first three rows? (XLII / 50-10+2)
* What is the absolute value of the degree of longitude the Earth is centered on? (It seems to be centered on Latitude 0° and Longitude 42°W)
* What is the number of green spheres multiplied by the number of blue spheres? (This is of course 6 × 9, the joke question from the second novel).
The puzzle was originally concocted by Douglas Adams for The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.

had to done for the older cachers really

didn't come through... try again.
Blast! It didn't...
I'll have to go and try and find the pic again now...
Watch this space
Lots of ducks! 46 (approx)
This, MrsB?
Now, that's 46, what's for 47, hmm...

The bat-eared fox has 48...
#49 is more messy than some others.

So who'll be first to identify what this represents? :P

tin.
now identify this location!
Area 51 - a very secret place in Nevada, where they definitely don't make UFOs like Aurora.
(Decking gone mad?)
In response to what mine was earlier: messier 49 is an object in space...

got something against 53?????
It's a B-53 bomber. I certainly wouldn't want to be against it when it's in action!
Oh did I have to answer that it was a B-53 or whatever, it seemed quite obvious :P Sorry anyway.
Another easy one, what does this flag have to do with the number 58?
If there was a competition for witty signatures, I'd come last.
:unsure: Im still thinking
not a damn clue!!! :
The flag is that of Venezuela, and the international phone code for Venezuela is 58.

Spot the cache
Heh, that's not hard, messier space object #61. I posted #49 earlier :POriginally posted by nobbynobbs@Nov 9 2006, 09:54 PM

Yes, I googled it (I'm not a weapons fanatic)
Edit to add, and then again to fix image.

no idea what 68 is and try again vanya..... though i dread to think what it will be!
:lol: :lol:
I dunno what 68 is.
Do you know what my picture for 69 is?
MrB reckons it's 68 perforations per foot of film length :huh:
Vanya's pic is actually the symbol for the Zodiac sign of Cancer.
Now, where were we?...
taking a wild stab what with the preview accross the front a rough suggestion of fore play? :lol: predictable...
Nope, more technical. But you're hot by thinking it's got something to do with the film.Originally posted by Mrs Blorenge@Nov 12 2006, 04:59 PM

Also, note how it's not very colourful.
As I have a cryptic one in progress, here's one that goes back to the basics.

Scorp here h34r:
Do they exist? :
= 73 ... but where?
Oh but where in deed? It's a messy one this
*sigh* the Messier Astronomical objects have been done to their death, that's the third I think we've had now.
In response to my pic, Black and White film is best to be developed at 68 degrees Fahrenheit.
And an easier link here:
-_- Oops, that's also 74, it's getting late

At last I've got my 73 pic to appear!
But did you get it?
There are several clues on the GC.UK Forum atm
