Geocache Description:

***The cache is not at the listed coordinates***


This cache is part of a series of four caches. The first three caches of this series--each based on a type of puzzle found in most newspapers-- are this one, "Hey! It's That Guy!" Sudoku, and Superstar Jumble. Each of these caches contains a clue you need to find the final cache of the series, The Final Chapter.

To find this cache, first just solve a typical crossword puzzle. Yes, there are several movie-related clues and answers, but don't worry, you certainly don't have to be Roger Ebert to do this puzzle.

Then, from the completed crossword, take the letters from each type of marked square and arrange them to spell a number; for example, the letters from the four squares marked with green ovals will form one number. Assign each of these numbers to a letter, using the following key. (Note- the same number may appear more than once.)

Next is some easy arithmetic:

s=D-C
t=B+E
u=E+H
x=A-B
y=B+G
z=F-H

Then the final coordinates are:

N 47 38.stu
W 122 11.xyz

Checksum of the six digits of the coordinates that you are solving for is 23.

PARKING NOTE No need to park on the shoulder of the busy street. There are some usable parking spaces a couple hundred feet NW of the cache.

When you find the cache, be sure to note the clue on the inside front cover of the log book. You'll need it to find the final cache of this series, FilmFans' Triathlon: The Final Chapter.

There is no FTF prize in this cache (it's a triathlon, not a sprint!) But, but there are prizes for the first six finders of The Final Chapter.
