Hello redditors of Algeria!

I’m currently working on a geocaching puzzle that requires collecting a code from every country. The tricky part is that the website only shows the country-specific code if you are physically located in that country. VPNs don’t work.

For anyone unfamiliar: Geocaching is basically a real-world treasure hunt where players solve puzzles and find hidden caches around the world using GPS and clues. Some puzzle caches involve online riddles like this one.

If you have a minute to help, could you please open the link below, scroll down to the image of Algeria's “passport,” and either send me the number shown on it or screenshot it? Or just reply with the number, that'll work as well.

If you’re not sure what geocaching is, feel free to Google it. It’s actually a pretty fun hobby!

Thank you so much for your time and help, I really appreciate it :)

Hi! I will be heading to Berlin, Germany for the summer. I will also be heading slightly west of Berlin near Wustermark. If possible, I would like some geocache recommendations from people who have geocached in Berlin before.

I am particularly looking for underrated geocaches that would probably be overlooked by people sorting by FPs, but are ones you personally loved finding.

Traditional, Multis, Mysteries, Letterboxes and Wherigos only would be good. I really like signing physical logs! I don't mind Webcam Caches if they're really good, though.

Thank you!

Edit: Not sure why the downvote, I know how to look for geocaches lol I'm just asking for people's underrated favourites that you can't usually find just by FP sorting.

I am supposed to identify the chiral centers and label them as S or R. For the chiral carbon I was looking at (as drawn above), I saw it as R. Please walk me through my logic, because I don't know where I went wrong.

Assigning the priorities, the side labelled "2" has higher priority than the side labelled "3" as It is closer to the N atom. Therefore from our view, 1,2,3 is anti-clockwise. However, as H is facing us, it's actually clockwise (R). But a quick googling of this compound revealed that that carbon is actually S. I don't know what is wrong with my logic?

any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
