Geocache Description:

THE SERIES:

This is the fifth cache in an ongoing series that will spark a friendly competition amongst cachers across the entire GOWT region. The basic idea is patterned on the First To Find Championship series of caches, which has enjoyed a successful two-year run in the Houston area, and which is now up to the 33rd cache in the series.

The premise is pretty straightforward: the first finder of this cache can take this custom-engraved FTF All Star travel bug trophy with them to enjoy for awhile — snapping pictures and gloating a bit along the way, I would imagine:

There are, however, some key stipulations:

Within 30 days, the FTF cacher must hide a new cache, title it "FTF All Star #6," and place the trophy inside for the next lucky FTF cacher to enjoy.
The new cache must be hidden within a 100 mile radius of Jackson, Tennessee, which seems like a reasonable distance that will cover most of the area catered to by the Geocachers of West Tennessee organization.
The hider must mention the series in the cache description, and must provide clear instructions so that the next winner of the trophy will know what is expected. Feel free to cut-and-paste the text from this description, if you'd like.
Follow the normal travel bug rules by retrieving the FTF All Star trophy from this cache and dropping it into the inventory of your new cache hide (the travel bug tracking number is affixed to the back of the trophy). And while it's permissible to carry the trophy to events, and to otherwise show it off before moving it along to your new cache hide, nobody but the actual FTF finders should log the travel bug. The travel bug page will thus serve as a handy record of everyone who has nabbed FTF on one or more of the caches in the series.
Have fun and be creative on your new hide!

Whoever grabs the trophy next time around will do likewise, and so on ad infinitum. The trophy is five inches tall, so it should fit in most regular-size cache containers, including small ammo cans and medium or larger Lock-n-Locks.

A horse saleman went to an auction with a certain number of horses. To his first customer he sold half his horses plus half a horse.

Four men wish to cross a bridge at night. One man takes 24 minutes to cross, the second takes 17 minutes, the third takes 13 minutes, and the last takes 3 minutes to cross. No more than two men may cross at a time. They have one flashlight that must be carried across on each trip. If two men cross the bridge together, they must walk at the pace of the slower one. What is the minimum time required to get all four men to the other side of the bridge?

Two trains are on the same track 125 miles apart traveling toward each other, one at 55 mph and the other at 45 mph. A fly going 85 mph starts at one train, flies to the other train, immediately turns around and flies back to the first train. It continues going back and forth between the trains until they collide. How many miles did the fly travel?

Down two after east with info between the first north pair. Combine positive and negative, adding integer table average values. Two between single gap two pi between last product below zero at fourth number. Divide the ratio in the row square values. First, go between the last row info and one big number. Take three numbers not with greater value where next row info up to pi. Between product ratio down the right both after the table subset now zero.
