Conundrum Mystery Cache
Slandgsmith: I should have learned my lesson about placing caches so close to the banks of the river! Looks like the recent floods have taken this one out to Lake Erie....GRRRR and this was my favorite puzzle cache. Oh well, need to open up some space in this park for a future CITO event.

Can this be called an Evil REGULAR? it's not a micro!
The above coordinates are nowhere near the final!
The final is located at N 41 AB.CDE W 81 FG.HIJ
In order to get the coordinates, you need to answer the following ten questions. However, the answers are meaningless unless you can answer THIS:
This number has amazed, confounded and even caused some to go insane! This number has been the source of many books and even a few movies. This number is infinite. This number has been attempted to be solved since time immemorial.
If you know this number, you may be able to put two and two together (no hint there, hehehe)
Questions:
A: How many County Sheriffs are there in South Carolina?
B: Height of the Statue of Liberty...in INCHES! (1984 Survey)
C: This 1980's and 1990's pop group's albums include Wishing Chair, In My Tribe and Our Time In Eden. Take the number in the name of their band and subtract 12.
D: Apollo VIII blasted off to the moon this year.
E: A cat has how many lives?
F: A joint session of Congress will have how many Representatives and Senators?
G: If you are sending a package to Williston, VT, you will need this! Zeroes need not apply!
H: (6 cubed) + (7 squared) + (16) = ?
I: Quote: "Dave, just what do you think you are doing?" Who said this? Use the number that is in his name.
J: This Honest president died in this year.
If you can get the answers to these ten questions, congratulations! Some of them are easy, some may require doing a little research.
You will need your answers to correlate them to the Mystery Number explained above!
Good luck!
