This cache is meant to either introduce you to life on campus or
remind you of how it was. Either way, the students at this cache
have both mental and physical work to do everyday. This cache will
test your skills and cause you to climb those blessed steps!!!
The above coordinates will take you to stage one. From here on
out, you have to figure out your way to the cache. There is parking
nearby, but like all universities, there is never enough so good
luck. It is recommended that you walk the whole cache, as the final
coordinates won't allow you to park nearby.
Stage 1 - Looking east from this view point, how many sides does
the artistic glass window have? This equals L. L*2=A L-2=W
Coordinates for stage 2: S 33 57.LAW E 018 W7.A31 Go here.
At the top of this structure, looking west, you will see a
building with white columns in the front. How many are there? This
equals J. (J/2)*3=M M-J-W=N J-N=S S-2=O E=0
Coordinates for stage 3: S 33 57.OSA E O18 W7.JMN Go here.
At this location, noticing what the building is used for, look
on the south side of roof and count the number of 'special' rooms
there are. #=X X+8/5=P ((5*5)(5*15)/25)=C P+C+1=Z
Coordinates for stage 4: S 33 57.CJ3 E018 P7.JZZ Go here.
At this location you will see a plaque, with the history of the
structure nearby. What was the originally planned roof structure of
this building that was not built? 'word'=1234. (O+1)*2=J E+4=A
Coordinates for stage 5: S 33 57.5AA E018 27.J1J Go here.
When you get here, you can think about all the money you are
going to earn after school. There are banks, travel agencies, food
shops, games, and of course lecture rooms. Using your geocaching
decrypting method, find these letters:BRAP. Unscramble them and
make the word for the dept you are looking for. (4 letters) Now
insert these numbers corresponding to your unscrambling. R=8 P=0
A=4 B=8
Coordinates for stage 6: S 33 57.NEE E018 27.6CO Go here.
What kind of a man is he? Add number of letters in the word to
get X. X-5=H X-2=M X-6=L
Coordinates for stage 7: S 33.57.LLL E018 27.HM7 Go here.
This is a strange name for the type of building that it is. Have
you had enough? Well this is the last stage. After this comes the
celebration of a well earned cache find if you can getthese final
coordinates. Take the first word and figure out this equation.
Decrypt using GC clues using the first word to get a second
word. (drop final letter) Now, this is the sentiment of some of the
people inside regarding the naming of the building. Why would they
be so upset about it? One word, 9 letters, contains an 'N' and
relates to the by-product of the industry. Counting in this word
from 1-9, find these coordinates: S 33 57.OTO E018 27.UUO. Got
it?
The cache is a normal cache hidden in a normal cache way. Enjoy
