This cache has been archived.

Antheia: This cache has been unavailable for a considerable period and as the owner has not responded to logs nor logged into geocaching.com for sometime I am archiving it.

Please avoid geolitter by removing any remaining traces of your cache or contact a local cacher to do so for you. If you are having difficulty doing so then please contact me via my profile and I will try to get someone to assist. This is particularly important if your cache appears to contain Travelbugs or Geocoins.

Geocache Description:


This is the final cache of the Puzzler series. Please note that the cache is not at the co-ordinates above. These are the co-ordinates for parking!!

In order to find The Bard you should have first found the other caches in the series:

Puzzler 1: The Hunting of the Snark
Puzzler 2: By George, You’ve Got It!
Puzzler 3: Deep Thought
Puzzler 4: The Cache of Numbers
Puzzler 5: An Uphill Struggle

If you have solved all the puzzles, then you still have some work to do! By now you should have five numbers labelled A,B,C,D and E. Now you need to do some calculations:

F = E - B + A - 6

G = C - A + 11

H = (C÷2) x (the last digit of E)

J = D - (A ÷ 2 X C) + 230

The cache is at N52 F.H W000 G.J

The cache is a medium sized tupperware box containing a log book and a selection of items to swap. If you have solved all the puzzles and found The Bard, then you have our congratulations, and thanks for doing our series!
