Geocache Description:


The above coordinates are not real.

TAEKWONDO has been part of my life since I could walk, so I thought that this cache would be a good way to have my fellow cachers learn a little bit about the history of this art. Photobucket

To get the correct coordinates you have to do some work. Solve for:

N 42. 4A.BCA W 071 07.DEB

 

A= Taekwondo is from what county? The number of letters in this county’s name minus 2.

B= The founder of Taekwondo is General Choi Hong Hi. He was born November 9th 1918 . He died June _ _ th 2002. Add the two numbers together, then add 1 to get the answer for B.

C= Taekwondo got its name on the 11th of what month in 1955? The number of this month is the answer to C.

D= Taekwondo was first in the Olympics as a official sport in 2000. The answer to D is how many medals the United States Taekwondo team brought home: combined in the years of 2000, 2004 & 2008.

E= Taekwondo is not just self defense, it is also the way you act and treat other people. Taekwondo has a student oath and tenets of Taekwondo that every student should follow. How many tenets of Taekwondo are there?

This is just a short history lesson. The cache is pretty easy to find.
