Geocache Description:

... and Love the Muggle

Welcome to Trivial Pursuit, Geocaching Style. The instructions are simple.

The above coordinates will take you to a multiple-choice trivia question in a 35mm film can. Each possible answer corresponds to a set of coordinates. The three incorrect answers all lead to disc golf holes. DO NOT fiddle around with the disc golf holes; there is no cache container there. They are just place holders to indicate a wrong answer. The correct answer leads to the cache container. You can expect that, as a general rule, there will be lots of muggles at all parts of this cache.

All four answer coordinates are within a quarter mile (line-of-sight) from the question. The cache is in a city park, and many parts are in wooded or semi-wooded areas, so the normal wooded-area-type hazards (brambles, ticks, rocks, etc.) are all present. The title is a general hint as to the subject matter of the question, but there is an additional encrypted hint below that is slightly more specific. The final cache container is a Nalgene bottle wrapped in Camo duct tape.

There are three ways to play Trivial Pursuit.

A - The Right Way:
Find the question, pick an answer, plug those coordinates into your GPSr, and go. If you chose wrong, go back and pick another answer.

B - Cheating Method 1:
Find the question, plug all the coordinates into your GPSr, and systematically find the one that is not a disc golf hole.

C - Cheating Method 2:
Find the question, call a friend to Google the answer.

All three methods are acceptable, but we ask that you indicate which method you used in your log, as well as how many tries it took you if you chose to play The Right Way.
