Geocache Description:


SE7EN

This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates it is a mystery cache you will need to solve a puzzle in order to get the mystery location of the cache.

 

This cache is the final cache in the Greatbigdiddy’s SE7EN Mystery Marathon Series. You will need to find the other 6 caches in this series and collect numeric codes from them in order to solve the puzzle for this cache.

The other 6 caches in this series are

A River Runs Through It - GC6689M

LOST - GC66HT6

Roses Are Red - GC66QZA

The 80’s - GC6762T

New Wave - GC66YDN

Joe - GC66Z13

 

This cache is the 5th in my series of caches based on my favorite films. SE7EN is a 1995 film starring Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman as a pair of Chicago detectives investigating a serial killer played by Kevin Spacy. The murders in the film are linked to the 7 deadly sins Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Pride, Lust, Envy and Wrath.

 

The puzzle will deal with the first 5 of these sins. Once you have solved these 5 parts of the puzzle you will be left with a multi digit number which you will use in combination with the 6 numbers you have collected from the other cache containers in the series. You will use all these numbers in an equation to reveal the mystery coordinates of stage 1 of this 2 stage multi. This stage will be called ENVY once you have found the container for ENVY inside you will find the coordinates for the final stage called WRATH. You will then need to locate that container. Inside you will find and sign the official log for SE7EN to complete this cache and Greatbigdiddy’s SE7EN Mystery Marathon.

 

The Puzzle

5 of the sins will be represented in the 5 charts below. You will need to solve each chart by matching each vertical description with its horizontal counterpart in order to get 5 numbers then you will find the sum of those numbers and that will be the value for the chart.

You will use your own knowledge or your investigative google skills to solve the charts. Because this is a film based cache we will be using Hollywood Actors to represent the sins of Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Pride and Lust.

Once you have solved each chart you will follow instructions on how to solve the equation to get the mystery coordinates for the cache.

 

Gluttony Chart

The sin of Gluttony is the over indulgence and over consumption of food often resulting in poor health and obesity. In this chart gluttony will be represented by famous plus size actors. You will need to match up the plus size actor with their description.

 

Greed Chart

The sin of Greed is the excessive desire and pursuit of material possessions like money and property. In this chart Greed will be represented by the 2015 earnings of the highest paid actors. You will need to match up the actors with their description.

 

Sloth Chart

The sin of sloth is extreme laziness resulting in an unhappy life that one has no desire to change or do anything about. Sloth will be represented in this chart by actors who are often typecast because they are unwilling or unable to change. You will need to match the type cast actors to their descriptions.

 

 

Pride Chart

The sin of pride is the excessive admiration and celebration for one’s own accomplishments and personal self-worth. Pride will be represented in this chart by actors who have won and been nominated for many Oscar awards. You will need to match the actors with their descriptions.

 

 

Lust Chart

The sin of Lust is an extreme uncontrolled desire. Lust will be represented in this chart by actors and the famous people they have dated. You will have to match the actors with their descriptions.

 

Once you have solved each chart and got the charts value you will need to find the sum of the 5 chart values, that number will be known as the GBD7MM # for this cache and will be used with the other 6 GBD7MM #’s that you collected from the other 6 caches in the series to solve the coordinate equation below.

 

Coordinates Equation

For the Northing coordinates start with this number

1207585660743

Now divide it by the GBD7MM # for SE7EN

Now divide your new number by the GBD7MM # for A River Runs Through It

Now divide your new number by the GBD7MM # for The 80’s

Now divide your new number by the GBD7MM # for Joe

Your new number should be the coordinates

 

For the Westing coordinates start with this number

14513509503108

Now divide it by the GBD7MM # for SE7EN

Now divide your new number by the GBD7MM # for Roses Are Red

Now divide your new number by the GBD7MM # for LOST

Now divide your new number by the GBD7MM # for New Wave

Your new number should be the coordinates

If you are correct congrats!!!

Now you can go find the final 2 stages

The final 2 sins in this cache will be represented by the 2 hidden stages they are

Envy

The sin of Envy is to covet and possess jealousy of another because of their status or their abilities. Envy will be represented at this stage by my jealousy of your abilities to solve my puzzles and find my cache. Because envy is my sin you may find that I have done something very bad because of my jealousy at this stage.

 

Wrath

The sin of wrath is an uncontrolled feeling of extreme hatred and anger usually leading to a desire of revenge resulting in violence. Wrath will be represented at this stage by you. Because of what I have put you through with this cache you may feel anger and hatred towards me and you may even want to take revenge on me for what I have done.
