So you think you know Pink Floyd? Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Krypton: As there's been no response to my previous note, I assume that the cache is not going to be repaired or replaced, so I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace the cache sometime in the future, just contact us, and assuming it meets the guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it

Thanks for your cooperation!

COORDINATES ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF FLORIN MALL - THESE ARE NOT THE ACTUAL COORDINATES!
You must answer the questions to find the actual coordinates... This is the SIXTH musical mystery cache in the series!

La Carrera Panamericana is a 1992 video of the Carrera Panamericana automobile race in MEXICO. The film included a soundtrack entirely of music by the band Pink Floyd, due to the fact that the band's guitarist David Gilmour, drummer Nick Mason and manager Steve O'Rourke competed in the race.

During the course of the race Gilmour crashed, and while he was unharmed, O'Rourke (his map-reader) suffered a broken leg. Mason finished eighth overall with his co-pilot, English auto racer Valentine Lindsay.

The music is a combination of previously released Floyd material (re-edited into a soundtrack) and material composed for the video. The tracks composed for the video are the first studio recordings made after Richard Wright re-joined the band in 1988. The new studio recordings were produced by Gilmour. The songs "Pan Am Shuffle" and "Carrera Slow Blues" are notable as the first tracks co-written by Wright since 1975's Wish You Were Here, as well as the first co-written by Mason since 1973's The Dark Side of the Moon.

I thought this was interesting and decided to put the cache at this location because of the significance of the location and my hunger levels!

You must answer the following to get the ACTUAL coordinates:

N38 AB.83C

AB = Richard Wright was born in Hatch End, London on July __, 1943. Then add one.
C = How many children does David Gilmour have total?(biological and adopted)

W121 DE.21F

DE = Nick Mason was born in Birmingham, England on January __, 1944?
F = In 1996, the frontman for Smashing Pumkin's gave the speech to induct Pink Floyd into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame. How many letter's in his last name?

ENCLOSED ARE TEN "BRICKS" FOR DISBURSEMENT:

Pink Floyd is probably best known for their hit "Another Brick in the Wall" - well there are 10 "Bricks" as I will call them in this container. You MAY relocate one of these bricks to a location of it's own! Please name it "JDM Pod #(whatever the pod says)" If you do so, please email me with the GC# so I may bookmark it for future interest! GOOD LUCK!
Log only, bring something to write with.

Once you have figured out the coordinates the cache will be within 10 or so feet of it. (Give or take due to GPS discrepancies).
