The Ultimate Answer Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

tasmo: Apparently the cache container disappeared a bit ago. I thought the last log was odd, as the container was a lock & lock. It looks like someone left a throw-down. Time for this one to retire, I guess.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the above coordinates, but parking is available
there.
A stop and grab micro just up the road from WHAT'S LEFT #2
by twilight rabbit. You're looking for a silver bison tube.

Solving this puzzle is not intended to be difficult, however,
finding the cache may be. To solve the puzzle, you must provide the
Ultimate Answer, which, of course, answers the Ultimate Question,
which is, basically, the meaning of life, the universe and
everything.

Once you determine the Ultimate Answer, please do the following:
The cache is located at N 38° 59.AB4', W 092° 29.CD0'. A&B
represent the two digit difference obtained when you subtract 3
from the Ultimate Answer. For instance, if the difference you came up with was "17," A would be "1" and B would be "7." C&D are the two single-digit factors
of the Ultimate Answer, with C being the smaller of the two. "Factor" is defined as one of two or more quantities that divides a given number without a remainder. For example, six and two are factors of 12 (as are four and three). The
cache is a log only, so BYOP. Please place the cache back just as you found it.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

The terrain is fairly level, there are a couple of small
grades, but ditches are the big hazard. I suggest that you stay
close to the tree line when you travel from the parking area to the
cache, and watch for small ditches. Right now, the grass is very
high, and it's difficult to see what you're stepping into, so be
very careful. Please do not cross the tree line, as this would
place you on University property. The cache is not wheelchair
accessible, however, I believe it would be accessible to someone
with a brace or a cane, as long as he or she heeds the above
advice. Distance from the parking area to the cache is less than 200'.



Congratulations to TorqueMaster as the FTF!
