Geocache Description:

This is stage two in our Memphis Puzzle Cache. Find it and get the partial coordinates from the log book to get to "Ammocanasaurus Rex". THE COORDINATES ABOVE DO NOT LEAD TO THE CACHE. YOU MUST ANSWER THE QUESTIONS BELOW TO GET THE REAL COORDINATES.

1,2 3,4.5,6,7N; 8,9,10 11,12.13,14,15W is our format. as you get the answers a number will be given for part of the number in your answer. Plug it into the spot with the same number to get the coordinate. As with the rest of these caches if you need help or would like to verify your answer before you go tromping through the woods, email me.

(1)(2), (3)(4).(5)(6)(7)N
(8)(9)(10), (11)(12).(13)(14)(15)W

These questions are based on the short list of some of my favorite books. There is a theme going at this area so check out the other cache(s) while doing this one.

1) The Author of "Animal Farm" was born on
(1).(2)(3).(4)(5)(6)(7). Take the number from spot 3 in the answer and place it in spot 2 above, also take the number from spot 7 and place it in spot 1 above in the coordinates.

2) His book "1984" was published in (1)(2)(3)(4). The number in spot 2 goes into spot 10 in the coords.

3) The author of "Cat's Cradle" was born on,
(1)(2).(3)(4).(5)(6)(7)(8). Take spot 6 and place that number into spot 12 in the coords.

4) "Cat's Cradle" was published on (1)(2)(3)(4). Take spot 1 and put it in spot 4 in the coords.

5) "A Game of Thrones" is the first book in a series about the brutal struggle for the throne. The author was born on (1).(2)(3).(4)(5)(6)(7). Take the number from spot 6 and place it in spot 11 in the coords.

6) "A Confederacy of Dunces" was one of two book writen by this author. It was published after he commited suicide because no one would publish his book. He died on,
(1).(2)(3).(4)(5)(6)(7) at the age of 31. Take the number from spot 2 and place it in spot 14 above.

7) This book and movie has the characters Buttercup, Westley, Inigo Montoya, Fezzik, and The Dread Pirate Roberts. The author was born on (1).(2)(3).(4)(5)(6)(7). Take the number from spot 1 and place it in spot 9 above. Finish all four of our caches and you can find our C.O.U.S. (you need to read the book or see the movie to catch that reference)

8) "The Prince" by Niccolo Machiavelli was written in 1513. Machiavelli was born in 1469 and died
(1)(2)(3)(4). Take the number from spot 4 and place it in spot 13 above.

9) No arts; no letters; no society; and which is worst of all, continual fear and danger of violent death; and the life of man is solitary, poor, brutish, and short. The author was writing about pre social man and his need to band together with other people in order to survive. He died in (1)(2)(3)(4). Take number 3 and place it in spot 7 above.

10) 6x9=? (in base 13) This is the meaning of life the universe and everything according to this author (it's a joke). This author was born on (1).(2)(3).(4)(5)(6)(7). Take number 6 and place it in spot 5.

11) 6x9=? (in base 13) take that answer and put it in binary to get (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). 1 goes to 6, 3 goes to 3, 5 goes to 15 and 7 goes to 8. NOTE: the binary from the book doesn't match actual binary. Get your answer from the webpages about the book, don't figure the answer yourself or it will be wrong.

All these answers are avaiable on the internet, I checked. If you have any problems just email me and I will try and help you. Have fun.

Also get All Mixed Up-4 Corners Cache SW. It is part of the multi.
