Geocache Description:

This cache is not at the above co-ords (but you could park nearby if you wanted to.)

To mark their 100th cache placement Team Marzipan (visit link) created The Mother Cache GC15RYZ (visit link)
Many daughter caches have been born as a direct result but so far only one Son!
We have therefore decided to redress the balance and we are glad to announce the arrival of another Son.
He is placed on a public footpath somewhere in Keele Village.

Some wiki info about Keele University can be found here (visit link)

It's a simple University Challenge to work out the co-ords.

So here's your starter for ten, no conferring!

Q.1. In what year did Keele University become Champions of University Challenge

Answer = 19AB

Q.2. What was the all-time lowest score achieved (if that's the word) by Sussex University in 1971

Answer = CD

Q.3. The highest match score of all time was University College, Oxford's points in 1987, versus Reading.

Answer = EFG

Q.4. "If A stands for Artichoke, B for Because, C for Curriculum, and D for Do, what might E be for".

Answer = _________________

The cache can be found at N 53° 00.(A-F)C(A-E) W 002° 17.(E+G)D(B-C)

Here's a little game to play whilst googling the answer (visit link)

Please be aware when retrieving the cache for universally challenged muggles

It's not compulsary, but if you start your on-line log entry with your answer to question four and end it with a vote for your favourite "Inquizitor" either Bamber or Jeremy you'll get a bonus point.
(I will keep a league table to see who's the favourite)
