Seller's Description:
This is the Dirty_Bird & BigNastyBrain geocoin. The coin was designed
after
our latest Geocache which revolves around a novel written and published
specifically for the geocache. The coin is in the same shape that appears
on the cover of the novel and contains a similar binary background. On the
reverse side of the coin is an additional code engraved into the rim. The
novel is titled "Cerebral Codex" and is a merge of fiction, puzzle
solving
and geocaching. This unique novel complements a 5/5 geocache which is also
called Cerebral Codex (GCVJXQ).
Cerebral Codex the Novel
The novel tells a fictional story of two characters on an adventure in a
strange land. The characters in the book are faced with a series of
puzzles
that they must solve in order to continue their journey. Each puzzle
contains additional coded information that allows Cachers & Puzzle Solvers
to access online puzzle pieces. You can learn more about the novel by
visiting the website at www.cerebralcodex.com
The book is published (ISBN:
141168284X) and can be purchased through online bookstores such as Barns &
Nobel as well as others. Currently, the cheapest price is through Lulu.com
and a link is provided through the Cerebral Codex website listed above.
Cerebral Codex (GCVJXQ) the Geocache
The Cerebral Codex geocache was created as a true 5/5 challenge. It is
riddled with a minimum of ten unique and challenging puzzles that guard its
secrets. Beccause of the 5/5 rating, 50% of its difficulty relies on
physical challenges. However, we understand that there are a lot of great
puzzle solvers out there. To this end, we have tried to make this cache
"distance friendly" by creating a special trackable item that distance
solvers can log if they solve all of the puzzles. (The trackable item is
not a geocoin). Additionally, any distance cachers skilled enough to
unlock
the secrets of the Cerebral Codex are welcome to log a note on the cache
page proclaiming their victory. Visit the Cerebral Codex geocache at:

"A cleverly crafted puzzle is a work of intellectual art when the
simplicity
of its solution is beautifully hidden by the complexity of its design. Such
art requires imagination and creativity on the part of the creator and
requires the solver to walk the fine line between inspiration and
insanity."
