Video: The camera zooms out over a board covered with randomly scattered numbers. A geocacher moves a triangular game piece with multiple holes around the board, trying to align every hole with a number. Once the correct combination is revealed, another geocacher enters it into a padlock and opens the container to uncover the geocache inside.

Can you pass Kindergarten (GCAYECB)?

Video by ShareBear64.

Video: The video opens to a wooden sign painted with a mural of an old schoolhouse. The camera pans to the back of the sign, which reveals two doors closed with a padlock. A geocacher opens the doors; inside are several compartments labeled with various classroom-themed titles such as “playtime,” “music class,” and “advanced math.” The geocacher holds up a pin that says “All I really needed to know I learned in kindergarten.”
