Geocache Description:

NOTE: The coordinates above are not the actual coordinates of the cache!

This cache series involves some difficult puzzles and bushwhacking in cover that impedes GPS signal reception. Please consider whether or not you will enjoy such obstacles prior to setting out on these hunts; the challenge will not appeal to everyone.

This cache is one of the 5-part multicache series entitled Leonardo's Templates. The other caches in this series are:

To my trusted apprentice:

Congratulations on your outstanding progress so far.

This fourth and final exercise will reveal to you the location of Template #4. As you know, I believe that breadth of education is as important as depth of education, and so I have striven to become a truly universal man—a Renaissance man. Below are clues to a list of the many varied disciplines in which I have dabbled. Some I have merely given cursory exploration, but most I have mastered. This will prove to be a relatively easy exercise for you, but I present it to you so that you may see what accomplishments are possible when one applies oneself.

Your goal in this exercise is to fill in the spaces following each clue with the name of the discipline or study to which it refers. Each letter is assigned a unique number. As you fill in these answers, the coordinates to the cache holding Template #4 will be revealed.

You are looking for a 30-caliber olive drab ammo box spraypainted with the word "geocache" in yellow on multiple sides and bearing an "Official Geocache" sticker.

Good luck,
