Insidious III - Prime Time Torture Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

emmett: It is time to finish with archiving my caches. I understand some may be interested in completing this series. The containers are still out there as far as I know so you can still log finds but I will not be doing any maintenance. I don’t want them listed on GC.com any longer and will not be working on any of them unless and until I have the time to modify and publish these as new caches on another site.

Geocache Description:


The Insidious series has been created to provide a variety of tough tests, especially suited for those who prefer more of a challenge. For those not inclined to tackle this series at maximum difficulty, an alternate, easier means of conquering the Insidious collection is available by acquiring the "hidden secrets" available at Insidous VI.

About this hunt:

Insidious: awaiting a chance to entrap; treacherous.

Torture: to cause intense suffering, to torment.

The posted coordinates will take you to Rock Hill in Northboro. Is the cache nearby? Solve the puzzle and decide for yourself. Let the cacher beware, some who have sought this cache have experienced intense suffering and torment. The posted coordinates will take you to Rock Hill in Northboro. Is the cache nearby?

Though it is not the most creative hide of the series, it is the arguably the most Insidious.

I have included a set of numbers below. They came from a family of numbers and each has a particular attribute. Between 1 and 1,000, there are 32 numbers in this family that all share this attribute. I have included 31 of those 32 numbers below. Your task is to identify the one I left out. Add 331 to the missing number and you will get a result I will call “P.”

Here are the numbers:

11, 113, 199, 211, 223, 227, 229, 233,
277, 311, 331, 337, 433, 443, 449, 499,
557, 577, 599, 661, 733, 773, 811, 877
881, 883, 887, 911, 977, 991, 997

The cache is located at:

42 (P x .0189058) N - ie., multiply “P” times .0189058 for the north cords
71 (p x .0383463) W - ie., multiply “P” times .0383463 for the west cords

Parking is at (-018 N), (-093 W).

Park next to the rock at the designated offset, then walk approximately 250-270 feet west, southwest to the second trail on the right and navigate accordingly. The first trail on the right (by the bench) will not take you to the cache.

In the summertime, overgrowth may obscure the path to the second trail. It won't be obvious as you approach but there is a second trail up the hill.

The cache is within 20 feet of the trail. No bushwhacking is needed.

To assure that GPS error does not create an unreasonably large search area, I have added seven push pins which define an area within which the cache is hidden.

The cache is pretty small, larger than a micro but not large enough to include trade items. A log sheet and a few writing instruments have been included. As a frame of reference for others to compare and enjoy, I have included a spot for you to write down the actual amount of time it took you to find the cache.

Important - You do not need to move the cache to access the log, so take extra care to leave the cache in its spot. Handle it gently when accessing and the log and follow the instructions provided in the cache to assure it is restored properly to its original state.
