Shell Game Multi-Cache

This cache has been archived.

thequeenbee: Time to let this one go. It's kind of sad since this was my first hide when I was a newbie cacher in 2003.
Well, it is time to open up the area for a fresh cache anyway, so I hope to be seeing something new and fun here soon. Mahalo to everyone for visiting and playing the Shell Game!

Geocache Description:


To win the Shell Game, you need to have good eyes and focused concentration! One slip and you can lose it all! Are you ready? Okay! Let's start playing!

What you see at the posted coordinates will help you find the cache. Enjoy the panoramic view, explore the area a bit and then go to work!!

You will see an object here with a two digit numerical designation. Let these numbers be “X” and “Y” respectively. Look upward and count the number of lights. Let this be “Z”

From this information:

A= X plus Y divided by Z

B= X minus A

C= Z plus B

The cache is located at:

N 21.BX.BZA W 157.CY.BCA

This is a very public area and it may be quite a challenge to retrieve the cache without being noticed. It is not necessary to climb over or on top of any objects. No bushwhacking! Please be respectful of the area. The best time is early morning to mid afternoon on weekdays when parking and privacy is plentiful. It may be near impossible to find a parking spot nearby if there are any events happening at the time.The cache is a small magnetic key container with a logbook. You will need to bring your own pen. I've added some cache souvenirs to the box, take one if you like. Don't feel obliged to leave anything in return. Please replace the box carefully so it won’t be seen by non-cachers. This is a micro size cache! Travelling micro coins are welcome if they fit but please don’t try to jam travel bugs into the container or leave travel bugs in the surrounding area where they will definitely get either dirty, wet or picked up as litter!

While in the area, you will see Kaneloa Wetland, a two acre ecosystem that contains native Hawaiian plants, fish and visiting sea birds. Water draining from the surrounding area and the slopes of Diamond Head maintains this marsh. Even in the hustle and bustle of busy Waikiki there is still a place one can call wilderness. It is under restoration right now and most of it is inaccessible but you will be able to get a peek of it while you seek this cache! Aloha!
