Geocache Description:

DO NOT hunt this cache at the above coordinates! The cache IS NOT there.The only way to catch your whopper is to find 4 other regular caches where you will receive clues to the coordinates of a location that will give you answers to several questions, which in turn will lead you to the cache.

Each of the four regular caches is a stand alone cache, but also has a number under the ammo box lid to replace a letter below. Keep track of the numbers. The location to answer the questions to find "I Caught a Whopper in Hayward" is located at N46 00.4AB W091 28.8CD. You can find the following caches in any order:

Hayward...Northwoods=A
Hayward...Water=B
Hayward...Recreation=C
Hayward...World Class Events=D

When you replace the letters with numbers found under the ammo box lids, the coordinates will lead you to a location which will give you answers to find the cache. Your next step is to solve the following questions when you get to the location:

U=What is the first number above the entry door?
V=What is the middle number above the entry door?
W=Add the numbers above the entry door and subtract 6.
X=How many numbers are there above the enrty door?
Y=How many white words are on the large sign on the corner at the right of the building including the "&"? Add 1 to the total of white words.
Z= How many zeros are in the number above the entry door?

Now replace the letters in the coordinates below with the numbers from the questions.

N46 0U.VWV W091 2XYZU

These coordinates will lead you to a small cache filled with a pencil, log sheet, and a few small items. Park in the lower parking lot. Congratulations,you caught your whopper in Hayward!
