#COMPLEX STEREOGRAM ZIP#

If I remember right, mine was in blues, yellows and some bluegreens. Heck, I'm impressed you found a way to make one of these gizmos, I loved them when they first came out so much that I bought a poster sized one and framed it for my bedroom wall, it was the Statue of Liberty and NYC skyline and a big moon if you could 'decipher' it We'll see if the cache stands for another month unfound. Jackalgirl : any advice is appreciated, even if you had no hide placed. I will offer both pictures on the cache page and people could try them out and see which one works best for them.īBWolf+3Pigs, I will follow your advice and offer links to pages with techniques to read stereograms.īriansnat, thanks for your complete answers, I feel better about this cache now! I will leave the difficulty as 3.5 because it is kinda hard for our local standards (stereogram + cache placed in not so obvious place!) I will work on another picture with more lighter colours. Here I have taken the background from a portion of my cat's fur, so yeah, pretty brownish. Mousekakat, your proposal of making a picture in other colours is very good, I didn't think of the trouble it could cause to some people. Now I know that my picture is readable by others than me and the difficulty can be considered as rightly estimated. Wow, so many answers in so little time! Thank you everybody, your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your opinions about my cache problem! Should I reconsider the terrain and make it a 1.5? Regarding the terrain, it is perfectly suitable to get to the place in a wheelchair, but the cache itself is placed like 160 cm above ground, making it thus difficult to actually grab it from a wheelchair. Theoretically, anyone who has two eyes should be able - with a bit of training - to read stereograms, but you still need some experience. What about the star rating? I listed a 3.5 difficulty / 1 terrain. Am I risking to get a bad reputation for making 'elite' caches? Should I go out right now and place an easy 1/1 to get myself forgiven?

I know of at least one other cache of this type in my country (in the German-speaking part) that has been placed in August and has received more than 30 visits by now.Ĭaches in my region are generally not difficult, puzzles mostly include easy calculations with zip codes or whatever so I wanted to make something more challenging. Can anyone else read it? What about you guys? Is the stereogram too hard to read? I answered that to me it was visible and provided him with a few tips to help him, like take off glasses or lenses, and print the picture. Ive received a personal e-mail from a local geocacher complaining about not being able to read the picture. Normally, caches in my area get found within a week max. I know the idea is not new, but I liked the concept. The cache is a mystery-type one, with the missing numbers of the coordinate being displayed in a stereogram picture. I have a few questions regarding a cache we've placed almost a month ago.
