Geocache Description:


NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES, but really close by.

This is a replacement cache for FSU*Noles. His original Suspicious Minds (GC17HNB) cache was almost lost to development in a nearby woods. Although Suspicious Minds has been re-released  this one wants to sing from the Amphitheater "I will Survive". To find the final coordinates just figure out the following puzzle:

 

North:

“Suspicious Minds” was Elvis Presley’s __(A)th__ #1 hit -  his last.

How many years between Elvis’ initial performance of “Suspicious Minds” until his death?  (B)

Add (A+B) to the current coordinates.

 

West:

Add together the digits of the year “I will Survive” won the Grammy for Best Disco Recording - the only song to win this highly coveted award.  ( C )

This digit falls at the end of the answers to these questions. (D)

·          Year I “I will Survive” is #1

·          Gloria Gaynor’s birth date

·          Rank on Rolling Stone’s top 500 songs of all time.

Add the product of (C x D) to the current coordinates.

Double Check:

“I will Survive” is Gloria Gaynor’s only #1 hit. Add the digits of that year together.  That happens to be the same result as (A+B). Coincidence?
