What is the best tactic for finding cicada cages in A Tale in the Desert?

Question

I'm looking for more insightful comments than "run through the desert with your speakers turned up" or "go where you think others won't." Do you have any specific tactics that have worked well for you? Things that aren't on the test's wiki page -- that seem to be working so far, and best of all -- have helped you pass the test in previous tellings.

Before the Oyster test introduced swimming (in T4?), there was a whole ferry-chain, island-hopping game involved in cicada placement. Talking about that would be a great answer if it weren't for swimming having negated the issue. What other kinds of things like that are there?

Answer

It has been a couple of years since I played, but I noticed the following -- the harder it is to get to, the more likely it is to have a cage.

Helpful?
