Geocache Description:


Howie Hidem and Dewie Findem are twin brothers from different mothers. Howie Hidem lies on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays. Dewie Findem lies on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. On Sundays, the truth is told by both. You meet the two of them on the trail while looking for a geocache. They give you clues as to a cache that they have just hidden.

From the following statements, can you determine what day of the week it is? Solving who says what is not necessarily needed, but may come in handy depending on your thought process. In the puzzle, if you think that the answer for statement #J is Friday, then J in the coordinates will be replaced with the number 3 and so on.
