GCWK79 The Dark Tower 7: Roland’s Quest Ends?

To complete this cache you will need at least a rudimentary knowledge of poker, specifically, hand rankings (what beats what). You can find what you need here:Poker Tips.

This is a single stage cache. All the preliminary work to get the coordinates can be done right where you are sitting.

You begin your hand with two cards:




Next, answer the following questions to draw your next 3 cards:

1. Which of the following was NOT one of Roland's childhood friends?
A. Cuthbert Allgood  B. Jamie De Curry
C. Richard Fannin  D. Richard Stockworth

2. What was the name of the town where Roland killed everyone after they set upon him at the urging of the preacher woman, Sylvia Pittston?

A. Mejis  B. Tull
C. Thunderclap  D. River Crossing

3. How did Odetta Holmes’ father make his fortune?

A. Railroad  B. Stocks
C. Invented a prosthetic leg  D. Invented a dental procedure

Now look at your five-card hand:

If your hand BEATS a Full House, subtract .188 from BOTH coordinates.
If your hand DOES NOT BEAT a Full House, subtract 188 from Latitude, and ADD 188 to Longitude.
If your hand IS a Full House, add 357 to BOTH coordinates.

In the ammo can cache you will find an assortment of card games. But the trade items are secondary. What you want is the clue on the little laminated card taped inside the lid of the can. PLEASE DO NOT TAKE THE SMALL LAMINATED CARD. Just write down the numbers! This will give you PART of the information you need to locate and access the final cache.

Long days and pleasant nights, may it please ya!
