Welcome to Rufous

Rufous is a hummingbird, who in our Mack Science world has traveled far and wide on many adventures. He vaporized an army of snowmen, stole a magic kazoo, and saved a beached whale. The Rufous tales exist as a series of songs. These songs were written and recorded as prizes, where students earned raffle tickets by solving academic puzzle geocaches. I pull a few raffle tickets per school year. The chosen student can choose to have a song written and recorded about anything they please. Believe it or not, they chose the stories present in the following songs

Rufous Prequel

Kat Kazoo

Whale of a Tale

Thanks for another great puzzle! Kat Kazoo was very odd due to the babies. So odd in fact that we texted the CO to see what was up. Thanks again! Earns a fav!

Wow! That was quite a roller coaster. I began by listening to the songs and was amazed that somebody can put together such creative geocaches and also has the talent to make music based on student's ideas. I tried to ad-lib every once in awhile while listening to songs. It's a real skill that I don't have. After fiddling more and a little guidance, I was able to get a happy checker. I'm meandered up towards the cache and was happy to find it. I was even happier to discover that mine was the first signature on the log. [FTF] at 9:47 p.m. Tftc! FAV given for the ability to write and sing songs and make geocaches.

I can confirm that the checker is accurate. :) For some reason it didnt work the first time i entered it, but it did upon re-trying. Good Luck and happy caching!

I have listened to the songs repeatedly and believed I had it correct. But the checker is not happy. Then I resorted to logic. 10 combos failed. I'm looking forward to seeing how someone solves this one.
