The listed coordinates are not the cache location. Never heard of the Word Police? It's a little-known organization totally dominated by an effete, merciless, condescending bluestocking commander: Yours Truly. Having seen numerous spelling or wrong-word errors in cache pages, chat board posts, and logs, I am providing a list of some of them below. To find this cache, you must perfect your geocaching terms. Answer all the questions below correctly. Multiply the question number times the correct answer number (from the column header above) and write the answer to the right side. Then follow the directions below the quiz.

The cache, a film container, is located at: N37 20.ABC W121 53.DEF.
Using the numbers you have written to the right, to get ABC, multiply the first five numbers together and subtract from that the sum of the remaining numbers. The answer is ABC. To get DEF, multiply the first five numbers together, and subtract 100. The answer is DEF. The cache is a traditional micro with only a log sheet and stash note. Bring your own pen. Check out the building where this cache is located to see where you can find out what words mean and what happens when you don't use them correctly. By the way, this used to be a good spot to park free when in this part of town, but they have signs up now restricting use. Take your chances of a ticket if you leave your car for any length of time.
