Babeon: You want to kill me don't you Tucker. Well, take a number and get in line.
This one had a good run. I was never a fan of the puzzle, tbh. I made it too difficult/vague.

On May 28, 24 years ago, a plane carrying a sensitive container was flying over Rocky Mountain National Park... er eastern Minnesota. On board were FBI agents protecting the container that was estimated to be worth a very large amount of money. Little did they know, flying behind them was a jet with several terrorists. The plan was simple, gain control over the lead plane and transfer the money over to the second plane in an overly elaborate way that looked cool on film and cost a lot of money to shoot. There was a problem though. Even though the rogue FBI agent (character actor who always plays these kind of roles) thought he had eliminated all of the good guys, one dorky agent lived and shot up the terrorists plane. In the process, the case fell to the ground and landed somewhere in Blaine, Minnesota. Can you find it? You'll need to solve a puzzle, else poorly accented John Lithgow is going to say one-liners at you while circling you in a helicopter until you find it. Jessie, I came back for the bags, I mean you, I mean the bags... yeah.

To find the package, answer the following questions:

AB) Last two digits of the year the film was released minus 48.

C) The number of soccer balls Craig Fairbrass kicks at Michael Rooker (Seasons over!)
D) Number of films Stallone had 'acted' in up to that point minus 31. Use this!
E) John Lithgow started acting in 19_2.
F) Caroline Goodall's number of film roles before this film plus 6. You should see her bake a cake!
G) How many Academy Awards the film received plus 1.

H) Budget of this film minus 70.
IJ) Last two digits of the year this film was released.
K) The stuntman was paid _ million to do the wire transfer scene (which we all know how that ended).
L) The film was nominated for Worst Picture at the 1_ th Annual Golden Raspberry Awards.
MN) How long Rex Linn has been active in acting minus 1915 (hint, its the 1980s man). I said quietly.
O) Number of times Stallone dies in this film (I mean come on, he should have died several times over).

NOTE: D rating combines puzzle AND hide itself. T rating is what to expect at the final stage. I tend to overrate things and experienced cachers will probably say this is too easy. Please be observant of any hours at gz or simply put do not find it at night.


See if you can outwit John Lithgow or Craig Fairbrass's socca ball with certitude. If you can't you might as well fall from a rope because Stallone can't hold you. Doh!
