Geocache Description:

Note: The posted co-ordinates are bogus.

However, GZ is within 3 km. of them.



To calculate GZ, you need to solve the following puzzle and work out which geocaching teams live in which house numbers.

Six Geocaching teams live next door to each other along one side of a street in houses numbered 2 through to 12. Each team has a different GPS, pet animal, car and house colour. From the clues below, determine in which house number each team lives. Then use them to calculate GZ.

Clues:

1. The Elephant lives at the Blue House.
2. Kiwideb is in a higher house number than the Chookies.
3. The Rolls Royce and the Tiger are from the same house.
4. Muzza owns either a Lowrance GPS or a Leopard (but not both).
5. The Tiger lives next door to Muzza.
6. The Ferrari is next door to the Yellow House.
7. The Porsche is right in between the Green House and the Elephant (i.e. the three are right next door to each other either left to right or vice versa.
8. The Eagle is in a higher numbered house than the Purple House.
9. The Purple House is not house #4. (Remember the houses are numbered 2 - 12).
10. Biggles Bear lives in a lower numbered house than the owner of the Map330 GPS.
11. The Rolls Royce is next to the Purple House.
12. The Lamborghini is at the same house as the Eagle.
13. The Red House is next door to the Ferrari.
14. The Giraffe lives next door to the White House.
15. The owner of the Explorist GPS lives at house #2.
16. The Aston Martin is at a higher house number than the Rolls Royce.
17. The owner of the Map330 GPS lives next door to the Leopard.
18. The Rolls Royce is right between the Blue House and the owner of the Gecko GPS.
19. Muzza's House is Blue.
20. Alan-san owns a Colorado GPS.
21. Kiwideb's House is Purple.

Assume:

A = Alan-san's house number
B = Biggles Bear's house number
C = Chookies' house number
K = Kiwideb's house number
M = Muzza's house number
T = Team Crackers' house number

Then GZ = S 37° 5r.suv E 145° 0w.xyz
where:

r = (A + K) / 2
s = A - (B / 2)
u = K / 2
v = C - (A / 2 )
w = (B + C) / 3
x = T - 10
y = (K - M) / 2
z = (C + M) - 6

The cache is now a 200 ml Sistema container. You will need to bring your own pen. There are no swaps. Please place it back exactly where you found it.
