A local hider placed puzzle caches based on the card game Sets. I had not heard of the game and never seen the game played before. I looked for information on YouTube and found a few videos. They are informational, but they didn't really help me with solving these puzzles. For my next step I looked for an on-line game. I found the best way to learn with a daily on-line game. I've even found all six sets in the daily game a few times.😂
With a much better idea of the game, I tried to find the best way to solve for the cache. I finally decided on printing the twelve-piece puzzle cache "set". I arranged six copies of the on-line "set" on a powerpoint page.
Once printed, I looked to identify a set from each group cutting out the three items making the set. Once you have built six unique sets, you have a solution.
I don't typically spend a long time on puzzle solutions. The rest of my life's commitments don't allow me to work with puzzles that may take hours/days/weeks and yield no geocache solution. With Sets puzzles, I can solve these in reasonable time and enjoy a fun find when I am in the area of the hide. When we are allowed back in Pennsylvania, I look forward to placing one of these fun puzzle hides.
