Are You Smarter Than a Fourth Grader? Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Cecil-EGCM: ook. Mr. N is now teaching 5th grade.
The questions most people couldn't figure out (thank you geochecker for showing me all the guesses).
"by the muddy creek" is a prepositional phrase therefore "by" is a preposition in this sentence.
According to our fourth grade Science textbook - crust, mantle, outer core, inner core

How Geocaching Works

Please note Use of geocaching.com services is subject to the terms and conditions in our disclaimer.

Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Located on school grounds so please try for it before 8:00 AM, after 4:00 PM or on weekends or holidays. Park in the school lot. While the staff has been informed, if someone asks you what you are doing, please take some time to explain about geocaching and make it an educational experience (it is a school after all). I have placed information about geocaching and a note from my class in the container to help you if you need it.

My fourth grade class has been learning about geocaching as we start to discover about Indiana, and decided it would be fun to come up with a puzzle cache for our school. After brainstorming a number of possible questions, we decided to use these which should give you what you need to find the cache. We removed all pop culture questions since fourth graders in the future may not know anything about Hannah Squarepants, X-Wii-3s, or Pokemajigs. All of these questions can be answered by an average Hoosier fourth grader by the end of the school year, so ask yourself... are you smarter than a fourth grader?

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

When you log the cache, take a few minutes and tell us about your favorite elementary school memory in your log. My students will be waiting to learn about other people's school experiences. Thanks and happy hunting!

Now just plug and play (just like any fourth grader with technology).

N 39° 51.DBA

W 085° 58.CEF

There is no need to open any doors to find the cache.
