An Ungentlemanly Act (Nelson/Marlborough) Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

beltfamily: Thanks to all who have enjoyed it. Thank you for trying to salvage the cache - if the spot is known it's better to archive it. There are enough cachers looking to use available spot again, so I suspect it won't be long before one pops up.

Geocache Description:

AS THIS IS A PUZZLE CACHE, DON'T RUSH OFF TO THE ABOVE COORDINATES !!!

A tricky cache with tricky questions... or you can cheat and decode the hint to reveal the final coordinates straight away.


Who would be so mean to hide the true location of this cache behind a number of trick questions? Well, that's just...

An Ungentlemanly Act

The good news is, if you don't actually want to do this puzzle, decode the hint, and you will have the final coordinates. It turns hard work into a Traditional!

But if you like a challenge, answer the questions below. (Print out a worksheet if you like). Depending on which answer you think is correct, transfer the associated number (1 through 5) to the box on the right.

Once you have all the answers, add up the numbers in column A and column B, and use it to find the final coordinates:

S 41° 19.(949+A) E 173° 12.(225+B)
 

 

 

Here's the worksheet, which you can also load in a separate page to print it out for easy use:

   

 

 

And use A and B in the following formula to reveal the final coordinates:

S 41° 19.(949+A) E 173° 12.(225+B)
