The Reverse Geocache Puzzle Box

[planetpursuits]

Like Geocaching you will love iTreasure-hunt APP

[peterpinkster]

Are you not scared that the box will be stolen?

im sure the first finder in (NL) will keep it :)

[MrJackstride]

where can you buy one of those?

[shadowgameer]

what the ... the box is sealed forever then how do you get it open *****

[DocLove5]

Smash that bitch open.

[olternaut]

Does anyone know where I can buy these? Does Mikal do commissions? I want to obtain a custom box for a special gift idea.

[antiussentiment]

man you are so cool..

i've just discovered my next arduino project i think. :-)

[xXHeartsAreUselessXx]

where can you buy one? 

[monkeysnuts420]

Display says 4-20-10. We all know whats inside that box!

[Ironfire55]

OR.... you can use a hammer. it will always work. ( Proven fact )

[Toobmeal]

ALL YOU NEED IS A HACKSAW

[Kevin4381]

You only need to press the button 3 times to figure out exactly where you need to go, then a 4th time to activate the latch when you arrive at the correct location.

[ThePolysyllabist]

@Kevin4381 Only people who can apply high school math get to open those boxes.

[deathnsorrow]

So you need a map, a pen, a map distance measurer and 3 clicks of the button in random places far apart. Draw out all three distances as a radius from the point where you clicked the button and where they meet is your location. Anyone who doesn't see that will have the box locked forever? Seems quite harsh. Although it doesn't exactly look like a hammer would have much trouble getting into it.

heh nice

Where can you buy one?

[totaly2cooltiff]

omigosh! at 0:52 the background music is that of the Hetalia Chibi Carnival app! awesome choice! XD but I don't think I'd every get that box open without breaking it... XP

[Tiggerlen]

soooooo many people would call that in as a bomb, unfortunately..

[Rexbnl]

@WeakPuppet lol i would do that too

[Kaitlyn8822]

How do we get this!?!?! I SOOOO want one!!

[greg54444]

I have searched and found geocaches. Why is this called a Reverse geocache? Wouldn't a reverse geocache have a coordinate instead of a prize? Instead a finding something shouldn't the opposite be losing the box?

[Sarahmint]

Lets hope it's not confused for a bomb.

[monro2]

what the hell???? 15 or 50 atempts ? anyway there will be a lot of boxes sealed forever

[HelloMyNameIsJohnS]

@monro2 you only need three tries to find to exact postition it opens at

[monro2]

@HelloMyNameIsJohnS is it so easy to find the place?

[HelloMyNameIsJohnS]

@monro2 yes, you need three postitions...just like finding the epicenter of an earthquake

[monro2]

@HelloMyNameIsJohnS cool :)

[craigjones1235]

amazing

[2000jago]

It's a great idea, but I think the box should either be impenetrable via brute force (no such thing), or it should be booby trapped in such a way that brute force opening destroys the contents.

Easiest would be to have the coordinates of the ACTUAL contents stored inside. If forced open, they're destroyed.

[WeakPuppet]

Or use the easy way:

- a hammer

- brute force

[TheKmk173]

That's it it locks down completley... Me: haha it's called a coping saw.

[S2333]

That is really cool. I would love to make one myself.

[AndrewJThomas97]

ha lol geuss whats in the box????? 

[tomek123kotek]

its easy... you go into a big field with a map and a compass... you press the button at one point in the field... and you write down the distance and encircle the area of the distance then you go on he other end of the field and encircle the the distance from that point... you have 2 points where the place could be so you go closer to one of those points and measure the distance egain revealing where the place is

[Kaitlyn8822]

@tomek123kotek except that it might not be a place in that field!

[tomek123kotek]

@Kaitlyn8822 I never said it was on the field, the field is just there for ease of movement ,and you do not want to try to walk through busy city streets with a strange looking box with a button on it because... Well I think you know the possible outcome of that situation.

[stoddcrew]

@tomek123kotek Or you could just cut the cheap hinges or the wooden box.

[dmtrop]

Very interesting indeed.  I believe one would need to take only 3 readings (and have a good map) to find the destination point. Would love to see this in general use for geocaching, etc. Thanks for sharing.

[SexxiRabbit07]

That is so awesome!

[mikalhart]

awesome!! a great way to waste my life

[mwardrums]
