GC1EE3H Where in Canada is Carmen Sandiego (Unknown Cache) in Alberta, Canada created by PrairieSwan

This cache has been archived.

PrairieSwan: Sadly it looks like I will have to archive this cache afterall. The puzzle is based on WestJet flight numbers and times and it appears they change these on a regular basis - making the solved coordinates inacurate.

Thanks to all those Super Sluthes who helped us capture Carmen and Rob M. Blind, before they got away with all of Canada's national treasures.

Thanks to GraySwan for creating this puzzle for the CNIB event.

Geocache Description:

The Cache is not at the posted Coordiates,

Those evil villains are at it again. Rob M. Blind, one of V.I.L.E.’s evil henchmen, has purchased a multi-city WestJet ticket and has been travelling across Canada stealing famous Canadian attractions. A.C.M.E. agents have learned that he plans to meet up with the infamous Carmen Sandiego at a secret location and turn over all of the loot for her to smuggle out of the country.

He began his pilfering in Ottawa by stealing the Peace Tower. Then he boarded the 3 pm flight from Ottawa to Halifax where he travelled up the coast and made off with Peggy’s Cove! Then onward from Halifax to St. John’s on the 8:45 pm flight where he netted all the remaining cod fish. The next afternoon he boarded the 12:40 pm flight from St. John’s to Toronto where he pinched Maple Leaf Gardens before hopping on the 5:55 pm flight to Montreal where he grabbed the Rue Saint-Denis. He had to lay-low and stay in hiding until 2:10 pm the next day when he boarded the flight to Winnipeg to kidnap the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. He continued to evade authorities by jumping on the 8:05 pm flight to Saskatoon where he proceeded to collect all the canola!!!

A.C.M.E. agents have discovered that the coordinates of the secret meeting place between Rob and Carmen can be obtained by inserting the Westjet flight numbers from Rob’s trips into the equation below. It is up to you to solve the puzzle and prevent all of Canada’s fabulous attractions from being removed by these ridiculous robbers. Good luck Gumshoe!!

N (Ottawa to Halifax – 173)o (Halifax to St. John’s – 793).(St. John’s to Toronto + 305)
W (Toronto to Montreal - 364)o (Montreal to Winnipeg – 779).(Winnipeg to Saskatoon + 93)
