Geocache Description:

You're a newspaper reporter assigned to cover a mysterious traveling circus. For whatever reason, there's nothing in the archive about this group.

A large circus tent has suddenly appeared on the edge of town. The timing of the new arrival is certainly curious. There was no advance warning, no arrangement between the promoter and city officials. What's more, the "big top" is completely black, an odd choice of color for a circus structure. The look of the tent is a bit unsettling, but is there a story here?

A ticket booth is nearby. (Be sure to bring pen and paper with you when playing this cartridge.)


IMPORTANT NOTE FROM CACHE OWNER, DATED 02.22.13: What the heck! Since when do cities get to change their municipal codes? Oh, that's right; the answer to that question is: "whenever they want." ;-) Well, rather than spend countless hours re-working the Lua/Wherigo code, you can just ignore the fifth question (puzzle E) and use any 'ol odd number between 2 and 4 that comes to mind. Happy hunting.--JJG
