For my 7th Street, 7/7/07, 7:00-7:07am event I placed a puzzle cache based on the Brad Pitt/Morgan Freeman/Kevin Spacey movie Se7en. Since this year's event is called 8 8s on 8/8/08 from 8:00-8:08am I have chosen another appropriate movie -- Eight Men Out.
The listed coordinates are NOT for the cache. The cache -- which is a seat belt adjuster with a pink log -- will be found at:
N 35° 3 A . BCD
W 82° 3 E . FGH
A = the last digit in the year that Joseph "Shoeless Joe" Jackson died
B = the number of baseball players found guilty in People v. Edward Cicotte et al
C = the first (or last) digit in the age at death of the author of the book that the movie was based on
D = the number of letters in the last name of the actor who portrayed George "Buck" Weaver
E = the base where Arnold "Chick" Gandil was usually positioned
F = the date in September 1988 that the movie was released in the US
G = the number of letters in the last name of the actor who portrayed Joseph "Shoeless Joe" Jackson
H = the last digit of the year in which the "Black Sox" scandal occurred
CHECKSUM: A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H = XY; X + Y = 7
Enjoy!
FTF HONORS GO TO tonigt!!!
