Hello, everyone, it's perkwhite! I recently discovered this challenge from the SEPAG facebook group, and I figured it would be interesting to give it a try. After all, I've never wandered off of geocaching.com that much. Upon taking a look, however, I found out that the nearest cache to me was 10 miles away, which makes this quite a challenge. As a result, I decided to help a few others by posting one of my caches on this website. As a bonus, this clears off not one, but TWO aspects of the above challenge, as it is both a 5 difficulty AND a quiz cache. If this goes well, I might cross list a few more caches. Anyway, now onto the puzzle!
One day, I was scrolling around one of the geocaching groups I'm part of on Facebook (One for puzzle help, actually) when I came across The Triple 30-step Enigma in New York. This cache page contained links to puzzles of a similar format. I rather liked the idea, so I figured, why not create one of my own? Don't worry, this one is only 45 steps.
So now, for the instructions. Your goal for this cache is to, quite simply, count to 45. However, the way you do this will change with every step. Every URL you go to will start with: http://www.colewhiteley.com/mahalo/______. To continue, you must insert the answer from each step in the blank. For example, the first page says '1'. Therefore, the second page is '2'. The second page then tells you 'two'. So to continue, you must insert 'three'. (Don't feel relieved yet, it get's harder!)
With that, I wish you good luck!
