A cache suitable for solving and finding with your kids. Complete
the word puzzle below to reveal a fairly well known phrase uttered
by a very well known local celebrity, renowned for musings on a
variety of topics. Simply rearrange the letters directly downwards
into the columns in the upper grid. The letters only move up or
down within their original column. When complete, you will have
filled in both the actual phrase (without punctuation marks) and
the first and last name of the celebrity, which are randomely
inserted as whole words, between completed words within the
phrase.
Now that you are done, you will have a word for each of the red
letters in the second grid. You now need to determine the Scrabble
value for each word and replace the letter with that number to
reveal the cache coordinates.
