Geocache Description:


One of my favourite movies ever. If you haven't already seen it then you will have to watch the movie (or read the book) to get the correct coordinates. You can borrow the dvd from either Lahti, Mukkula or Hollola libraries (they have one copy each). Or you can cheat and just google the answers. As you wish....

The cache location is at N 60° AB.CDE E 025° FG.HIJ

A. When Westley says to Buttercup "As you wish" what does he really mean?

[ 5 ] I love you

[ 6 ] I hate you

[ 0 ] I don't necessarily approve of your request but I still agree to it

B. The Princess is kidnapped by who?

[ 8 ] soldiers from Guilder

[ 9 ] a Sicilian, a Spaniard and a Turk

[ 0 ] a Scotsman, an Englishman and an Irishman

C. What's the line after "No more rhymes now, I mean it"?

[ 6 ] "Anybody want a peanut?"

[ 7 ] "I was in the WWF, have you seen it?"

[ 8 ] "Do you think the King should sign a prenup?"

D. What is the sound that the Princess hears (in the water)?

[ 3 ] the theme music from "Jaws"

[ 5 ] the screaming of the lambs

[ 7 ] the shrieking eels

E. Vizzini, Inigo and Fezzik try to escape from the Man in Black up what cliffs?

[ 0 ] the Cliffs of Insanity

[ 5 ] the Cliffs of Moher

[ 9 ] Cliff Richard

F. Inigo is looking for a man with how many fingers on his right hand?

[ 2 ] 5

[ 3 ] 6

[ 6 ] none (his hand was cut off in a sword fight)

G. Vizzini keeps using which word? (which might not mean what he thinks it means)

[ 9 ] unbelievable

[ 1 ] inconceivable

[ 2 ] impossible

H. What are the 3 terrors of the Fire Swamp?

[ 0 ] the flame spurt, lightning quicksand and R.O.U.S.'s

[ 5 ] fire breathing dragons, lava pools and muggles

[ 9 ] mosquitoes, mosquitoes, mosquitoes

I. The Prince asks the Princess to please consider him as an alternative to....

[ 1 ] Westley

[ 3 ] suicide

[ 5 ] a life alone

J. Westley suggests to Prince Humperdinck that they fight....

[ 0 ] to the death

[ 5 ] to the pain

[ 9 ] to the finish

SPECIAL BONUS QUESTION! (no points, no coordinates, just for fun) Is this a kissing book?

[ ? ] No, it's a logbook....

[ ? ] Actually it's based on a satire about the excesses of European royalty (by S. Morgenstern)

[ ? ] In fact it's really based on the shocking true story of Princess Leia of Alderaan

[ ? ] Are you kidding? Fencing, fighting, torture, revenge, giants, monsters, chases, escapes, true love, miracles....

Once you've got the coordinates to the "tweasure" then all you have to do it is get through the "swamp", climb the "cliffs" and storm the "castle". Good luck!
