I love the water. I love being on the water, in the water
and being under the water. Boating, fishing, diving,
swimming, and snorkeling are just a few of the activities that make
me love the water. This puzzle is all about the water.
The photos below were all taken in Google Earth. They are
satellite images of a few fairly well-known bodies of water.
Your task is to figure out which body of water is shown in the
photo. Once you figure out the names, you will then have to
answer a few questions to come up with the proper coordinates
to find the cache. There may be a few things in the photos
that some of you well traveled cachers may recognize that will help
but I took out city names and road names (there are a few road
numbers though). The X's below each photo represent the number of
letters as a small hint and also show how many words are in the
name.
XXXXXX XXXX
XXXX XXXXXX
XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
XXXX XXXXXXXX
XXXX XXXXX
XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXX
You should end up with:
1. XXXXXX XXXX
2. XXXX XXXXXX
3. XXXX XXXXXXXXXXXXX
4. XXXX XXXXXXXX
5. XXXX XXXXX
6. XXXXXX XXXX XXXXXXXXX
Now, all you have to do is use the above answers to answer some
simple math questions below and you will come up with the correct
coordinates. Use A=1, B=2, C=3, etc. to solve the problems. The
spaces do not have a value (pretend they aren't there).
Your final coordinates will be plugged in as: N 32 AB.CDE W 086
FG.HIJ
A= The 6th letter of #4 minus the 13th letter of #6
B= The 9th letter of #3 minus 2(the 2nd letter of #5)
C= The 3rd letter of #1 plus the 10th letter of #6
D= The 7th letter of #2 plus the 7th letter of #6 minus the 5th
letter of #4
E= The 9th letter of #2 minus the 10th letter of #3
F= The 1st letter of #4 minus the 7th letter of #1
G= The 8th letter of #5 minus the 5th letter of #3 plus the 9th
letter of #2
H= The 7th letter of #5 plus the 3rd letter of #6 minus the 6th
letter of #1
I= The 5th letter of #2 minus the 10th letter of #6
J= The 16th letter of #6 minus the 6th letter of #5 minus the 8th
letter of #4 minus the 9th letter of #3 minus the 6th letter of #2
minus 2(the first letter of #1)
