QR Code is something we see almost every day, but do you know what it is?

QR code (abbreviated from Quick Response code) is the trademark for a type of barcode first designed in 1994 for the Automotive industry in Japan. A barcode is a machine-readable optical label that contains information about the item to which it is attached. In practice, QR codes often contain data for a locator, identifier, or tracker that points to a website or application. A QR code uses four standardized encoding modes (numeric, alphanumeric, byte/binary, and kanji) to store data efficiently; extensions may also be used.

The Quick Response system became popular outside the automotive industry due to its fast readability and greater storage capacity compared to standard UPC barcodes. Applications include product tracking, item identification, time tracking, document management, and general marketing.

A QR code consists of black squares arranged in a square grid on a white background, which can be read by an imaging device such as a camera, and processed using Reed–Solomon error correction until the image can be appropriately interpreted. The required data is then extracted from patterns that are present in both horizontal and vertical components of the image.

A quick solve on the puzzle. The find was also quick which was lucky as it was just starting to rain. So both were quick which fits the puzzle theme of a Quick Response code. Cheers!

We were running out of daylight on our run today, and it's always a shame to solve a puzzle and discover it archived before making the actual find, so when time runs out, the puzzles go to the top of the 'on the way home' list!

Quick find here today, and all in good shape.

GPSr was bouncing all over, but geosense prevailed. Found in a very light snow squall.
