Geocache Description:

*********************This cache is not at the posted coordinates***************************

We dedicate this cache to StaticTank, Marvin the Garmin, Scullycat and cachin4fun as well as all the other cachers that have challenged us with their puzzle/trivia caches. So with that said, we figured we'd do one for them (and others) in return. This cache also marks our 25th hide so we wanted to do something different this time around.

Here are some events that took place in the year 1961…please answer the questions below to come up with the actual coordinates for the cache.

• In 1961, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” was number _ on the list of "all time" top ten movies according to TopTenREVIEWS? _ = B
• The _ _ Amendment to the United States Constitution gives residents of the District of Columbia the right to vote in presidential elections. 1st digit = G, 2nd digit = A
• Actor Scott Baio was born on 9/_ _ /1960. He was my sister's favorite "Happy Days" actor and she was born in 1961 so I figured it to be relevant for this quiz. 1st digit = H, 2nd digit = J
• John F. Kennedy, our 35th president, was sworn in on 1/_ _ /1961. 1st digit + 3 = F, 2nd digit + 8 = E
• American Writer Ernest Hemingway committed suicide on _ /_ /1961. He was 61. month – 3 = D, day + 2 = I
• The “Ken” doll was introduced in 1961 as Barbie’s fictional boyfriend. In February 200_, Mattel announced a split for Ken and Barbie. _ - 3 = C

Once you have all the necessary information you will be searching for a magnetic nano cache AKA blinkie. We hope you enjoy the trivia and searching for the cache.

Congratulations to StaticTank and Docudad on the FTF!!!
