Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates!

 

At a recent caching Event, attendees were asked to learn something about other caching teams by solving this puzzle.  Not only are you given the puzzle, but you are given the answers as well! (Since once the puzzle was solved, everyone received the answers at the event.)  With those answers, you can figure out the cache coordinates (and learn a few fun facts about your fellow cachers).

Match the team name to their little known fact.  (Then place the little-known fact number next to the team name.) There may be multiple teams that match a particular fact, but only the team that gave me the information is the right answer for this exercise.
