Zor's Origin Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Zor: And that was it. The story is over. I have decided to archive this and the other two puzzle caches associated with this series. If you have found all of the other caches in the series and wanted to know if you had solved the final correctly (even though it is now archived), the final was located at N 46° 03.755 W 064° 45.059. If you actually did solve it, feel free to log a find on this cache even though it is archived and no longer there.

Thanks to all who found this and the other two puzzles tied to this series.

Geocache Description:


This is the final puzzle cache as part of a series of caches placed in rural New Brunswick near Salisbury.

To solve this puzzle, you need to have successfully solved and found both Story Teller #1 and Story Teller #2. The physical containers for those two caches contain two of the three clues you need in order to solve this puzzle cache.

The third clue can be obtained without ever having to leave your home, but it will require a bit of work. You will need to read a very special story to obtain this information.

There are 100 caches in the "Story Teller" cache series, not including the three associated puzzle caches. Each one of those caches contains a few words from the story. What you will need to do is to find all of the answers to the questions below by reading the "story" made up of all those cache names. You will need to figure out the correct order for the caches in order for the story to come out right, and then you should be able to answer the questions below quite easily.

Zor, the character name not the person, is taken from a 1980's anime TV show. The story talks about where he came from and how his ship and knowledge affected the people of Earth.

To find the final location, you will need to answer the following questions using the names of the various caches in the Story Teller series. The answers to J & K can be found in the physical cache containers for the geocaches Story Teller #1 and Story Teller #2.


A = Number of letters in the name of Zor's home planet
B = Number of letters in the energy source Zor discovered
C = The amount of years it took to repair the alien ship
D = Number of letters in the last name of the veritech test pilot
E = Number of letters in Roy's fighter pilot group
F = The anti-grav engines did not lift the ship. They F from the hull. (Number of letters in word)
G = Type of food the alien craft that attacked Earth looked like (Number of letters in word)
H = Where the shelters on Earth were located (Number of letters in word)
I = Name of the planet the hyperspace jump took the SDF-1 to (Number of letters in word)
J = Clue from Story Teller #1 Puzzle
K = Clue from Story Teller #2 Puzzle

Final Location = N 46 0G.(B*C*D) + J     W 064 4E.0(H*I)+(F+A)-K

The container itself is an 18L ice cream container and should not be hard to find once you have the correct coordinates. You'll have done enough work to find the coordinates so I've made sure it is easy to find. Good luck!
