Geocache Description:


If you've ever seen the "Hollywood Squares" game show, you may be aware that the title of this cache is, or at least was, a common phrase from this show. If that's not ringing any bells, no problem, since this cache has absolutely nothing to do with the show. Hopefully, the title will all make (at least some) sense in the end. As with many puzzle caches, the cache itself isn't located at any of the points provided, but is related to all of them in some way. Therein lies the challenge. The 3 points are, in no particular order:

N 39 31.665, W 76 21.805
N 39 32.098, W 76 21.520
N 39 32.104, W 76 21.408

The cache is a 6" by 6" Lock & Lock container. Of course, it has a depth as well, but it's value has no relevance here.

Depending on the features of your GPSr, you may want to consider using a tool such as FizzyCalc by Fizzy Magic (a Google search will quickly locate it) in conjuction with your receiver to fine tune your calculations.

Feel free to check your answer at Geochecker.com prior to setting out on your hunt. Please note that since this is a puzzle cache, and I don't want to give away too much information as to it's location before you solve the puzzle, allow me to offer what will be my standard puzzle cache disclaimer. Once you've confirmed your solution, please take a quick look at the location of the final and determine whether or not there are any local regulations that you need to be aware of. Thanks. Now go get it.
