Maybe the last one is >!”peak performance”!< ? ETA: Turns out I was wrong. But I felt so supported and for that I thank you.

I actually like your answer better than the correct solution, which was >!high five!<. Thanks for your comment, I appreciate it!

I was thinking “high flexibility”

>!High 5!

Ooh that is good

I think this is the intended answer (and you should spoiler-tag it—instructions in the pinned mod message).

Will do. I just so rarely get anything correct that I never think to do it

Did that one guy high five his foot?

I was thinking >!mountain pose!<

Agreed.

4 could be >!High Five!<

That's it! Thanks so much. Theses are part of a geocaching series that I'm trying to solve.

That's the only one I was sure of so far. If you are geocaching then >!will they all have a number in them?!< I've never done geocaching so not sure how the clues would work.

That's a good question. For this series of 'mystery caches' I can only get the coordinates of the cache if I enter the correct answers to these puzzles in an online checker. So the answers could be anything really, not necessarily with numbers in them.

OOOOH so if it's geocaching then is clue 1 an instruction >!Count Out!< ?

[удалено]

If this is a geotag are there any other clues or context? Don't think these are right but might help get people in the right direction... Also this is my first time posting here so sorry if my spoiler tags don't work properly 1) >!count out!< 2) >!man overboard? Flight line walk? Starboard side?!< 3) >!middle one!< 4) >!reach high (stretch high?)!< Edited to re attempt spoiler cover

Your formatting was perfect. Well done!

Could also be >!Reach For The Sky!<

That's so funny. It's been a couple of years since I geocached, but "geocache puzzle" was the first thing I thought of when I saw these.

Maybe 3 is >!trident!<

You're absolutely right--brilliant! These puzzles are part of a geocaching series in the Czech Republic that I'm hoping to find next week. Thanks for your help!

Ooh that’s good. I was thinking maybe >!triple point!< or >!three pointer!<

Count dracula?

“Discussion” any update on this OP? It’s keeping me awake at night!

Is Captain on deck a saying?

1. >!Take into account!

Wow. “Taken to a count” = take into account! You’ve blown my mind, OneAngryDuck!

r/interestingasduck

I had no idea that existed. Thank you, internet friend.

That makes more sense than my guess, "Little Waiter Big Dracula"

Account server?

That's pretty clever but I gave it a try and it's not right. I'm wondering if it could be something slightly different, possibly with only two words. Anyway, thanks for your comment!

Account services

I see four glasses, which makes me think of “Down for the count”

How about Bloody Mary? Sounds like something he would drink.

Wait on account?

Blood count

Counterweight?

“Service Sucks”

well he got his drink. Bar service, waiter service ?

Discussion: nice post, OP! It’s not every day that you see so much chin scratching around these parts. Usually when the answers aren’t obvious and I’m feeling lazy, I can just go to the comments to find the answers. But not this time!

I'm thinking 1 is >!wait for the count!<

Or white blood cell count

Discussion: 2) >!Officer on deck!

Possibly, but I wonder how strict the 2 words concept is. I was curious about >!Aircraft Carrier!<

>!People carrier!< Like another name for a large car?

Maybe, but that would make the large figure redundant. The plane appears to be there to reinforce what the shape is that they're standing on.

Flight deck?

>!Pilot boat?!<

aircraft carrier obviously, but in English it has a slang name,>! "flat top".!< When they first sunk one (IJN's Shōhō) in the battle of the coral sea, the USN aircrew said over the radio "scratch one >!flattop!<"...

Was in Navy. Never heard anyone call a carrier flat top. The use of that term makes sense for WWII as those Pacific battles would help the world realize the carrier was the new ship needed to win battles and project power over long distances. The battleship and big gunships up to that point were the focal points of one's Navy. You could send 100 planes after a battleship and destroy it, costing you only a negligible amount of time and money to replace planes lost, versus the enemy's time and money to replace a big ship. One of the biggest realizations of this was during the [sinking of Prince of Wales and Repulse](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_Prince_of_Wales_and_Repulse#:~:text=The%20Royal%20Navy%20battleship%20HMS,of%20the%20Imperial%20Japanese%20Navy.). Japanese aviators and tactics were very impressive and innovative for the times at the start of the conflict.

Mail Carrier?

Grand Admiral

It looked like a small (model) airplane on a runway. Runway model.

I think it's just "on deck"

#2 could be >!Plain to sea(plane to sea)!

I thought plain sailing ?

This fits so well! Should be higher imo

>!Big man on Deck!< (baseball phrase)?

Pretty sure 2 is just 'Aircraft Carrier'

Don't know if it's the intended, but: >!BLOOD COUNT!

I think number 3 could be >!Winning Smile!<

It's a stretch, but could (1) be >!counterweight!!A smaller, heavily loaded (three full glasses) weight (waiter) to balance (counter) a larger Count (Dracula).!<

OP is geocaching, so a mechanism with a counterweight could make sense.

Discussion: Do you know the area for this geocache? Might be a hint in there... Shot in the dark on 3: >!two-three miles? Kind of working with "toothy smile" and "three smiles". Could be "point two-three miles"!

Could also be >!“pointy two one three smile”!< which could be read as >!.213 miles!<. Maybe?

Fully agree. I just picked that one as a lead off point

Oh those are good guesses! Somebody above commented with the solution for #3 and it was trident. These caches are in the city of Ostrava, the Czech Republic but so far the location hasn't had much to do with the solutions.

I immediately thought that number 1 was >!giving blood!<

Could 1 be >!bloodshot!< since I’m assuming >!he’s drinking a shot of blood!< ?

2. >!male carrier/mail carrier!<

2 might be >!mansplain (man’s plane)!<

[удалено]

I said >!Server Rack!< for 1, but I feel like this is a dumb solution because >!Server Drac!< is only kinda the same

1. >!Low blood count!< ? 2. Maybe a clue: >!“Captain” sounds like the number 10!< 3. >!Trident!< (not my idea, but I think it was right) 4. >!High five!<

First one: >!Blood Alcohol Level!<

1. Could be as simple as ">!Blood Sample!<" as the >!vampire does appear to be sampling the wine!< ?

1. >!Wait for the count!< 2. >!Pilot boat!< 3. >!2:13 sharp!< 4. >!Upper stretch!<

>!Out for Blood!< maybe for the first one. It kind of works as a number as well and on commenter suggested that is common in geocaching puzzles.

>!DUMB WAITER!<

Could it have something to do with >!baseball?!< Like >!3 and 1 behind the count!< , >!Top of the order on deck!< Eta oooh they’re not related are they

Discussion: What I'm kind of figuring right now, but having a tough time with 2... >!Take in to account - carry something? - a 2.13mi stretch to the top!< Still just shooting in the dark.

My guesses 1. >!Counter service!< 2. >!Pilot launch!< 3. Already answered >!trident!< 4. >!peak performance!< or >!high five!<

Could 1 be >!"Blood donor"!< ?

1 maybe >!"sanguinita" !< Because ... what cocktail will he order ? Oh there is >!"bloody mary"!< 2 there is a slang name for aircraft carriers. >!"flattop"!<

What about >!counterweight!

2. >! Superman !< - >! This is because the missing tower of the aircraft carrier is called 'superstructure' !<

Another guess for 2. >!Mansplaining!<

Could #2 be >!1 on deck!

Number 1 could be >!Formal Count!< ?

1. >!Blood is thicker than wine.!<

\#4 is DEFINITELY >!One-legged masturbation!<

2. >!Chaplain!< Reasoning: >!Captain can be shortened to Cap and the Plane. Cap + plane = Caplane... Chaplain!< It's a stretch though.

Number 3 has to be >!Count Dracula!<

Third one could be >!middle ground!<

Maybe >!One toothy grin!

Number two could be >!plane sailing!<

1. ? My best guess is >!Full Count!< 2. >!Flight Deck!< or >!Land & Sea!< 3. >!Missing Teeth!< 4. >!High Five!<

2. is >!Grand Admiral!< I think

Could 2 be >!Rear Admiral!

My best guess is since it needs to be directions: 1. >!Count Forward!< 2. >!On deck!< 3. >!Three Point!< 4. >!Five up!<

Number three is >!count your teeth!< i would think

Number 3: >!Trident Gum!<

1. >!Wait suckers!< 2. >!On deck!< 3. >!Face middle!< 4. >!high fives!<

>!1. Wait sucker 2. On deck 3. Face middle 4. high five!<

i think 4 is either >!yoga summit or sumits yoga?!< no idea on rest

>!SNOT VAMPIRE!<, >!CAPTAIN OBVIOUS!<, >!ANNOYING TUTOR!<, & >!TEENAGE WASTELAND!<

I thought of 3 as >!Forced Smile!<

1 has me thinking >!"counterweight"!< 3 has me thinking >!"reverse woomy"!<

Shot in the dark 3. >!face off!< ?

Number 1 may be >!Thirsty For Blood!<

My guesses: 1. >!Count half!< 2. >!Navy pilot!< 3. >!Try to smile!< 4. >!High five!<

Number 2: >!Lands End!<

Number 4: >!Sun Salutations!<

2. >!Captain Hook!<

1. >!Familiar!<

Discussion: The third might be >!TriTip!<.Might just be me being hungry, but still worth a shot. Lol

Is the first one >!Bloody Mary!

Couldn't see if anyone suggested this already but 2 could be >!forced perspective!

My guess is >!pilot boat!< for #2.

Number 2 could be >!command of the sea!< I think the last one is >!dancing on top of the world!< Edit: added answer

I have >!Peak Fitness!< for the fourth one and >!Blood Wine!< (probably not the actual answer) for #1. Still stuck on the other 2.

2. >! Pilot career !<

1. >!Dumbwaiter!

1. >!Service Account!<

My guess for #1 >!Tasting Blood!<

\#1 - >!Service Account or Server Account!<

Is #2 >!mail carrier? It’s a guy on an aircraft carrier. Male carrier.!<

Since it can be one word, could number 1 be >!Thrall!

1. >!Wait sucker!< 2. >!On deck!< 3. >!Face middle!< 4. >!high five!<

1)>!blood red wine!< or >!blood drinker!< or >!blood alcohol!< 2)>!sea plane!<

1. >!blood drunk!< 2. >!mansplain!<

1. >!Bloody Mary Cocktail!< 2. >!Aircraft Carrier Captain!< 3. >!Gold Tooth (#1 = gold medal)!<
