Geocache Description:

*** The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates ***

This cache is the final cache in a series of four caches. You can find this cache only after finding each of the other three (in any order). The other three caches are Miller's Crossword, "Hey! It's That Guy!" Sudoku, and Superstar Jumble.

If you've found those other three caches, hopefully you've noted the clues on the inside front cover of each of the logbooks.

One of the clues was a male ACTOR's name. Let the number of letters in his first name be A, and the number of letters in the last name be B.

One of the clues was a female ACTRESS's name. Let the number of letters in her first name be C, and the number of letters in the last name be D.

One of the clues was the name of a movie. You know the drill by now. Let the number of letters in each word of the title be E, F and G.

Then some simple arithmetic:

s=B+C-G
t=A+D-E
u=C-E
x=C+G
y=A+D-F
z=B-D

(checksum for the 6 digits of the coordinates that you are solving for is 31.)

Then go find the cache at:

N 47 37.stu
W 122 09.xyz

NOTE There is nothing tricky or devious about the math or any other part of this particular cache-- the 3.5 difficulty rating is only because you must find the other three caches in the series first.

There are FTF prizes for the first six finders of this cache-- each of the first six can choose one.

In addition to the other regular swag, there are "triathlon completion cards"-- EVERY finder may take one of these cards, without having to leave anything in return.

One last note-- I am including a hide hint as reception in this area can be bad. But please respect the spirit of this cache, and search for it only if you have found the other three caches in the series.
