Geocache Description:

I've just found an old puzzle book I got for christmas in 1982 so I thought I'd share a couple of puzzle with you...

The cache is a fairly small sandwich box with room for small swaps an TBs.  Just solve these three easy puzzles to get the coordinates.


Puzzle 1

A man has three sons, and each of the sons has three sons. Using this information, answer the following quuestions

  • A. How many pairs of cousins are there?
  • B. How many pairs of father and son?
  • C. How many pairs of brothers?
  • D. How many pairs of uncle and nephew?
  • E. How many pairs of grandfather and grandson?
  • F. How many people are there in the group?
  • GH = A + E - B
  • JK = A + F - D
  • L  = C - E

Puzzle 2

On a shelf is a 6-volume set of books standing side by side in order.  Each cover on every volume is 2mm thick, which is 4mm back and front, and text which is 4cm thick.  A bookworm has eaten its way straight through the first page of volume 1 through to the last page of volume 6.

The bookworm has travelled  MN centimetres.

Puzzle 3

When you see the reflection of a clock in a mirror and the time appears to be 2:30, it is  PQR really. 


The cache is located at:

N 53° GH.JKL
