Having interests outside of caching, I wanted to combine some of
these interests to form a puzzle cache. While solving this puzzle
may be difficult, it is my hope that you will learn something about
languages, cultures and sub-cultures. Regardless of where you are
from, there are those who conform and those who rebel. There are
believers and doubters. You may learn a little about each as you
work your way to the solution. Depending on how you go about your
solution, you may even get to meet some new and interesting
people.
The passage you see written in the ancient book in the photo is
used to find the final coordinates for this cache. The final
coordinates for the cache are
N35 AB.CDE
W106 FG.HIJ
A= 5th letter in name of text's author
B= 3rd number in date text was published
C= 3rd letter in name of text's author
D= 4th number in date text published minus 5
E= 4th letter in name of text's author
F= 5th letter in name of text's author plus 2
G= 4th letter in name of text's author plus 2
H= 1st letter in name of text's author
I= 1st number in date text was published
J= 1st letter in name of text's author minus 5
Where an answer to the above questions results in a two digit
number, use the second digit.
This is a five star cache so no hints until there is a FTF and then
maybe a small clue to others after that. Do not post hints in your
log or I will have to delete them to preserve the challenge for
others. The puzzle I have rated five stars while the hide itself I
would rate a three star.
