Geocache Description:

NOTE: The cache is not at the posted coordinates but it wouldn't be a bad place to park.

I got the idea for this cache after recently meeting ve2ogh on the same trail I took to find my 400th cache. I had never met him before and I was totally amazed that he recognized me immediately. He then, of course, made me play a guessing game as to his identity. I am very pleased to have met you “Mr. Evil”. So pleased, in fact, that I thought I would be a “copy cat” and steal this cache idea from you.  For more fun check out ve2ogh's Who is She? GCZCT3.

Who is he?

Happy Cat

To find this cache you will have to identify the famous gentleman shown in the photo above left.  The photo above right is of me celebrating my 400th find.    Consider me to be your clue.    Once you know who he is do the following:

Calculations:

a1 = day of his birth
a2 = month of his birth
a3 = year of his birth
b1 = day of his death
b2 = month of his death
b3 = year of his death

To get the North coordinate: (a1 x a2 x a3) + 16991 = N45º_ _ ._ _ _

To get the West coordinate: (b1 x b2 x b3) - 382235 = W075º_ _ ._ _ _
