phatdawg: Time to say goodbye to this one. I found the container but it was empty. Not really a good spot anyway. I will keep the other active caches in place for now.

I heard that the Lost Coast Geocachers were clammering for another Phatdawg Series. This cache is the answer. FTF prize is $10 so don't hesitate to go after this series.

Most of us know the rules of Clue (if not see LINk). This game will not exactly follow the board game.

Mr. Boddy has been murdered and It's time to find out whodunnit. After inviting six acquaintances to his manor for the evening, it turns out that the poor soul, Mr. Boddy has been killed by one of his guests. No one else was there that night, so that means that it must have been one of:
  • Colonel Mustard
  • Miss Scarlet
  • Professor Plum
  • Reverend Green
  • Lady Lavender
  • Mrs White

    Additionally, Mr. Boddy was clearly murdered by one of the following weapons:
    • Wrench
    • Rope
    • Candlestick
    • Knife
    • Revolver
    • Lead Pipe

      Somehow, the police don't seem to be able to determine exactly which weapon killed him. A bit surprising, really, you'd think it'd be obvious. The only rooms the murder could have occurred in were the:

      Murder Mystery By The Bay: Lounge Lounge
      Murder Mystery By The Bay: Dining Room Dining Room
      Murder Mystery By The Bay: Kitchen Kitchen
      Murder Mystery By The Bay: Ballroom Ballroom
      Murder Mystery By The Bay: Billiard Room Billiard Room
      Murder Mystery By The Bay: Study Study

      To determine who did it, with what, and where, you'll need to have visited each of the 6 rooms (caches) to gather the clues hidden inside & apply the appropriate clue adjustments (+/- XX.XXX) to the Latitude coordinates, starting from the Bonus Cache's given coordinates. Apply the variables that you acquire in the Clue Series caches to the Longitude in the equasion above.
      E= Murder weapon
      A= Room were murder was committed
      C= Guilty suspect
      F= Murder weapon
      B= Room were murder was committed
      D= Guilty suspect

      Now you should know exactly who did the deed, with what, and where they did it. All that remains is to go to the bonus cache and claim your smiley.
