Geocache Description:

Greetings, Comrade Cachers and Fellow Travelers!
It is time to shed the shackles of oppressive Bourgeois capitalism and celebrate International Workers Day. Wave your Red Flags and light your bonfires to hail the Great Social and Economic Achievements of the Proletariat working class struggle.


Lennon

LENNON & MARX


Leave your stifling factories and march with unfurled banners along the main streets of your cities. Listen to speeches recounting the great victories over the Bourgeois Bosses who, under the threat of strike, dare not fine you for not appearing at the Factory. Then, Seek this cache which honors the Great Leaders of the Proletariat Struggle!

Gain inspiration from the images of our 10 heroes above to find the final coordinates at 34 AB.CDE and 081 FG.HIJ (Label our glorious heroes A-J, from left to right, then from top to bottom). As a truly dedicated Party Member, you already have their birth and death years memorized (as well as their names and faces).

A= Last digit of birth year
B= Last digit of death year plus 1
C= Third digit of birth year
D= Last digit of death year minus 2
E= Last digit of death year minus 2
F= Last digit of birth year minus 2
G= Last digit of birth year plus 1
H= Sum of all digits of current age minus 4
I= Last digit of birth year minus 3
J= Last digit of birth year plus 2


When our Struggle is complete, Collective Caching (Team Caching for Numbers) will become the order of the day, with the dawning of Smiley WelFare. Feel joyous in the knowledge that you can claim as many smileys for this cache as you feel you need! ("From each according to his ability, to each according to his need.")
