Geocache Description:

Sitting in the Sun enjoying a cup of coffee with Ms shonkylogic one morning, we decided that yet another puzzle cache in the local area would be fun...

package eclipsetin; // specifically a black eclipse tin with a magnet
public class Shonkylogic
{String SHONKY="",LOGIC=" ";
final Short _logic=(int)34L; int _shonky=138;
private StringBuffer shonky(){StringBuffer shonky
=new StringBuffer(_shonky);shonky.append((char)(_shonky-'7')).append(LOGIC.charAt(0*_logic)+2).append(new String(new char[]
{ 040 })+Character.toString((char)('b'
-'-')));long _=-_logic;_++;_++;_++;while
(_-- > -/* 138 */34){shonky.append(Math
.max(_, 0X138 % 34 +(               LOGIC != SHONKY /* oh yes it is */
?_-_:_/_)))
;shonky.append(!LOGIC.isEmpty()?(char)056:SHONKY);
                LOGIC = SHONKY;
  /* I think we all realise the logic is shonky */                 
         assert LOGIC == SHONKY;
