Geocache Description:


The final is not at the posted coordinates.  You still need to go to the posted coordinates to get the keys for the final coordinates.  The posted coordinates are behind the church in a small cemetery and the entrance is cemetery property is not the church property. You need the last two digits of the year that James D. Bixby was born and died to complete the puzzle. Since the church does not have much in the way of property, the final location less than half a mile away at what used to be the church parsonage.  In fact, because of its location, you also have permission to park in the owner’s driveway if there are no cars in it.  The cache is there with the owner’s permission.  The container is a small lock and lock.

Warning: Do not attempt this puzzle when you are tired.  It may put you to sleep.

The book of Leviticus is the book for Old Testament laws.  If you only thought it was the 10 commandments that Moses received, nope, it wasn’t. There were over 600 laws.  Many have to do with offerings, dietary restrictions, feasts, etc.  This puzzle will ask a series of 6 multiple choice questions plus date referenced above. All the answers are based on the New International Version (NIV® 2011) of the Bible.

The A, B, C & D answers are valued at 5, 10, 15 & 20 points respectively.

To make the final coordinates start with the posted coordinates.

For the North: Final = Posted + (Sum of the points of the answers + last two digit of year died – 8)/1000.
For the West: Final = Posted + ((Sum of the points of the answers * 5) + last two digits of birth year + 2)/1000.
