The Original "Survivor" Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Nomex: As there's been no cache to find for months, I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the indicated location although it is within a couple of miles.

I hope people have fun doing the research for this cache. (If you can solve this from the first Web page you find, I will be very impressed indeed.) You may have to actually hit a library.

I realize that people might be slightly confused over a couple potential details.

1. There is only one way to order these people but several ways to number them. You are looking for the result after the person does what he/she has to do. The known digits should make this clear.

2. If you use the indicated reference, there are a couple of twists at the end. Ignore them. Pretend everything is going where you think it is until the twists. If you use the original reference, there are also a couple of twists at the end, but they are different and should not confuse you.

[Note: there appear to be a couple of spoilers on the Web. :-( I don't consider using the Web to locate the referenced work (film, play, or book)to be using a spoiler. If that is how you wish to find your caches, so be it. However, I should warn you that using a spoiler will ruin an extremely well-constructed puzzle (the original; not this one) and an excellent film/play/book.]

The cache area is only open from 6AM to 10PM.
