Let's do another music puzzle! This time, it's all about intervals. In music, intervals are defined as the distance between two notes. The puzzle may seem somewhat straight forward at first, but don't be deceived.

You do not need a piano or keyboard to solve the puzzle; it might be helpful but it isn't necessary. Also, the Ear Training Tutorial video associated with GC7JQPR, will NOT help you in solving this puzzle. I know it references intervals too, but this is a completely different puzzle.

The cache is at 3 M.U.S.I.C.I.N.T.E.R.V.A.L.S. I couldn't come up with two words that would equal 15 letters and be relevant to the puzzle so you get the first "3" for free! I know, I'm so generous. 

Here's a link to the puzzle. It should take you to a PDF in a Google Drive: Intervals

For the final - I strongly recommend going on the weekends to avoid any muggle encounters. Also, pay attention to the color of the container. I'm going to create a puzzle based on all the music caches within the next few months. You'll need this information for the final.

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

The container is all back in place. The bottom half of the bison tube got a little bent. I fixed that but it will be a bit of a tight fit. Happy hunting!

Thanks for the fun puzzle cache! I had Keen sandals on so I just walked through the creek to get to the cache. I was able to climb high enough and hold onto a branch with my left hand while I unscrewed the bison with my right. I signed the log. I'm so sorry I was not able to screw it back on with one hand. I left the bottom half with the log sealed in a plastic pill bag under a piece of bark at the base of the tree. I didn't have my step ladder in the car with me today. Hopefully it will stay dry and the next tall finder will be able to reattach it to the top piece.

Had to maneuver around an obstacle before reaching the beacon then had to improvise with a nearby tool to reach it. Tftc!

Well, finally! Have to admit that I was thinking about this all wrong ever since it was published: sort of a can’t see the forest for the trees scenario. Anyway, the puzzle was solved, the find was made, the log was signed, and all is good. Thanks for the cache, which after a lot of frustration, begrudgingly gets a fav!

I had just enough music training that this one didn't seem too bad. I think it actually took me longer to figure out how to get to the cache. Like others before me I tried a couple incorrect routes before I found one that worked. TFTC

Got some help on a couple of music puzzle geocaches, and today was a simply delightful day, so off I went - this was the last of the two that I found. TN-N-SL. Thanks !

Well my son (a part of sleuthers) solved the puzzle. All those years of piano practice have finally given a dividend. Apparently he enjoyed the puzzle and was surprised when his first checker attempt succeeded. I picked a bit of a miserable day (freezing rain) and time (just before dusk) for the hunt. I tried 2 directions which both failed and then found a route to the cache which didn't require any leaps. How ever did you find this location? It's a puzzle itself! Giving it a favourite, which means that 3 for 3.

Keep them comin' Cheers.

So here it is Friday night and the PoshCacher needs to run an errand, fortunately for me it happened to be near this final. So we made our stop and then headed over to the GZ. Made the zig zag way to the GZ and as we approached I could see the cache clear as day(even though it was dark). Sudoku realized HOUSTON WE HAVE A PROBLEM... we approached from the wrong side. Back to the car and re thought the route. Finally we found a way to the GZ , or so I thought. Once again there was water in the way...Nooooooo! Even though it was dark I found a narrow spot and made the jump. From there it was a straight shot to the final. We signed our name and made the crazy trek back to the car. You made us work for this one. Favorite point awarded.

Some may say we are crazy, but this game/hobby is one of the greatest gifts. Who doesn’t love a great scavenger hunt. Hiking, biking or driving hundreds of miles to sign our name on a piece of paper. This brings us a lifetime of joy.

Thanks for placing this cache and keeping our recreation going. SL/with PoshCacher/MagicCacher.Tftc

This FTF has been brought to you by my music prodigy friend. I was excited to get a text tonight with the solution, and quick explanation of how cool this puzzle is.

Finding this in the dark, the path to get to GZ was interesting and fortunately I was able to stay dry. The hint is indeed correct.

Love all these puzzles, as does my friend. Said music school would have been much more fun learning with your puzzles.

I think this is my 101st consecutive month for FTFs. Thanks for being one of them! Gets a FAVE! Adding log photo.
