Geocache Description:

Locating the actual cache will be the easy part. Determining the coordinates will be a little tricky. These puzzles are slightly more difficult than the last two logically speaking caches. You will be looking for a Baby Soda Bottle (BSB), or what is also called a Preform container. Please bring your own pen. Good luck and have fun exercising your brain.

Disclaimer Note:  If you enjoy puzzle caches, have fun and enjoy.  If you do not enjoy them, please skip this cache.  Thanks!

This is the second in a series of deductive reasoning logic puzzle caches that will increasingly become more difficult.  The coordinates above are not the actual coordinates to the cache.  In order to obtain the actual coordinates, you will need to solve the following two logic puzzles.

DEFINITION OF LOGIC:  Logic is the art/science of good reasoning (arguments or inferences).  Reasoning is a species or kind of thinking that aims at a conclusion. Thus good reasoning is thinking well that aims at a conclusion.

DEFINITION OF DEDUCTIVE:  Deductive characterizes a reasoning process of logical reasoning from stated propositions.

DEFINITION OF REASONING:  Use of reason, especially to form conclusions, inferences, or judgments.

North Coordinate Puzzle – Goosebumps:

  1. John and Sharon are brother and sister.
  2. Alyssa, Jaime, and Kristi are all afraid of some type of noise.
  3. Sharon and her brother are both afraid of something to do with “bugs.”
