Fun puzzle, agree with small bit of smile logic. Somewhere in Denmark? Maybe a place called Glamsbjerg?

Looks like a two-bedroom house in the country :)

it's much more north than Denmark.

Does anyone read the puzzle as N 55 +1696 and E 10 +07702? Or is it a different number?

No clue. I liked the solve, but I have no clue how to figure out the coordinates. Sara, you'll tell us if no one gets it in a reasonable amount of time, right?

Looks like the coordinates put you in the water of Helnaes Bugt, Denmark.

Why do this and not put the answer in the story? Not fun.

I also wind up in the water in Denmark, so I probably have the coordinate system wrong. Fun puzzle, though, and I'm glad to have someone from Scandinavia (somewhere!) join us.

Hi Sara. Some pretty countryside. A bit different to here (S35, E117). I haven't played the GC game for two years now but still have lots out there. Maybe I can tempt you south with one of them - GC2C484. Get in touch if ever you do come here.

I've posted before about these mysterious numbers that show up occasionally. There's a game out there called geocaching where things get hidden somewhere in the world. The coordinates get published on a website and people use their GPS to go and find those things, sign a logbook and replace the object as found. Just to make it a little tricky, some players set puzzles to solve in order that players need ton work out the coordinates. Pixel puzzles are one such mechanism. Coordinates can be written in many ways - it's pretty easy to work out which way by the values and the number of digits. Geocaching coordinates are an N or S followed by degrees, a space, then minutes, a decimal point, then decimal minutes. Repeated for E or W. I don't want to use Sara's numbers but for instance the following coordinates are in a park near my house. S35 00.749 E117 53.505 Use this technique and you'll see that Sara's hidden object is indeed in Denmark.

Robert - thank you for the confirmation of what I was interpreting the coordinates to be. I am not sure what/where thomas was thinking the numbers were. I hadn't thought to ascribe them to geocaching, but I think you are right. There were objects which were placed near to where I live also, and it was fun to try to find them. I should get back into that once the warm weather returns here.

Great thanks for playing I'll try mine
