Geocache Description:

***THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED CO-ORDINATES!***

You are looking for a cammo baggie now. Solve the puzzle to determine the true co-ordinates. Bring your own writing stick.


This is the first in a series based on song titles, band names and the like. Based on the Jeopardy format - the dollar amount will indicate the difficulty of the puzzle.

For example, the clue might be "____ Days a Week". A very popular song by the very popular Beatles. So the simple answer would be "Eight". A slightly harder puzzle might make use of the fact that there are really only 7 days in a week. Or a harder puzzle might make use of the fact that the Beatles were known as the "Fab Four".

This is a simple puzzle - just fill in the blanks. How hard can it be? Lots of songs have numbers in the title, so that is the theme for this puzzle. Most of these songs were pretty popular, but one or two might be a bit more obscure for some folks.


Congratulations to SNSGKrieger on the FTF, and Bitzer has the most moving runner-up speech!
