Krypton: As there's been no response to my previous note, I assume that the cache is not going to be repaired or replaced, so I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us, and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it

Thanks for your cooperation!

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the indicated location although it is within a couple of miles.

I will be very impressed if anyone can solve this without the use of a search engine. So much so that I have included two FTF prizes (a Sacagewea and a Susan B. Anthony dollar). One is for the real FTF. The other is for the first who does this without use of a search engine. (Honor system, folks.) I will add a clue a day and a hint at the end in order to approximate the original joke. The final clue will be a dead give-away.

******
I am looking for a very specific name. If I ask for a letter value, use A=1/Z=26. If the answer has more than one digit, use the final digit (remainder mod 10). For example, if the answer is "x", use the digit 4. If the answer is 492, use the digit 2.

The cache is at 37: 31.ABC North and 122: 15.DEF West.

A = the value for the next to last letter in the name.
B = the absolute value of the difference between the value of the first letter in the name and the third letter in the name
C = The value of the second letter in the name plus the value of the fifth letter in the name.
D = the value of fourth letter in the name plus the value of the final letter in the name.
E = the number of letters in the name.
F = the value of the second from last letter in the name. (The letter before the one used in A above.)

The cache is a magnetic hide-a-key located on the westernmost leg of an in-theme object.

Who are Melanie Haber, Audrey Farber, and Susan Underhill better known as?
