In order to find the actual container, the following questions
must be answered:
1. Who placed the Original Stash? Dave (a)
2. On what date was the website GPS Stash Hunt Homepage
announced? (b)/(c)/2000
3. Who first suggested the name "Geocaching"? Matt
(d)
4. On what date did Ireland join the caching community?
(e)/(f)/2000
5. On what date was the website www.geocaching.com
announced? (g)/(h)/2000
6. What was the date of the first recorded "Event Cache"?
(i)/(j)/2001
Now that you have the answers, a few guidelines for what to do
with them:
- For answers a and d , convert each letter as
follows: A=1, B=2, C=3,…., Z=26. Then, sum the total of the
resultant numbers. So, as an example, "Cache" would convert to
3+1+3+8+5. Totaling these, our final answer is 20.
- For the rest, dates are in Day/Month/Year format. Use the
number of the month (Apri l= 4)
The Final Coordinates are: N36 19.stu W115 17.mno
Solve the following equations to get the coordinates:
s= (d + g) / (e x c)
t= (h / j) - e
u= e - g
m= (a - 5) / (f+ g)
n= i / j
o= (b x j) - i
(x is not a variable, it means multiply)
Good luck, and let us know if you need any help. The original
content of the cache includes several handmade items and a couple
ready to place caches. Cache on!
