Music Is Life Series: O'BRIEN the Celtic Fiddler Mystery Cache

This cache is a series of caches that is placed near some of the music stores in the area. Jewel loves percussion and any music store is a favorite of his. Therefore, he decided to put some caches in the vicinity of his favorite places to visit.

Cache is a small container, black in color. It contains a log and a small pencil. Please replace cache exactly as you found it.

The coordinates for this cache do not actually take you to the cache. Instead, the coordinates only take you in front of the music store. The actual cache is nearby, within a 30 min. walking distance.

To find the actual coordinates and claim your cache, you must actually stand at the coordinates and visually look for the numbers using the format and clues listed below. Every answer is a number.

Format:
N 47^o 32.ABC
W 052^o 43.DEF

Clues:

A. Stand in front of the music store and turn and face across the street. Find Mr. Bowring's birthdate. Add all of the digits together to get a two digit number. Now, take the resulting number and subtract the first digit from the second. Add 9 to the resulting number.

B. Stand in front of the music store (smiling at the muggles) and face across the street. Grace has a birthdate. Add all the digits in the birthdate together. You will get a two-digit number. Now, subtract the first digit from the second digit. Add 1 to the number.

C. When facing the music store, there is another store to its immediate right. Add all of the digits in its numeric address together. Now, add, together, the two digits in the resulting number. Divide that number by 2. Don't forget to continue to smile at the muggles. By now, they are wondering what you are doing.

D. East of the music store, you should find a parking sign. The sign gives you the time of day that you are allowed to park here. Add the two times together. Now take the resulting two-digit number and subtract the first digit from the second.

E. Turn and walk west to the street corner. Nonia is standing to your right. Watch her as she reveals the year she was born. Take the second digit. That's it. Smile at the muggles on the street corner. One of them might be playing a musical instrument and looking for money.

F. Head back to the music store. Look at the store. When was it born? Add all of the digits in its birthdate together. You should get a two-digit number. Subtract the first digit from the second. Smile! Keep those muggles guessing.

Now, enter the coordinates into your GPSr, smile at the muggles one last time and go claim your cache.

Hope you have fun on this one. Happy caching!
