Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the above coordinates and there is nothing useful there; to find it you must solve another wee puzzle; if you have found the apostrophe abuse or at least know the final coordinates this is going to be easy! Note that you do need the coordinates and the hints for the "Apostrophe Abuse" to solve this one.


Good afternoon, North! I see youve committed some more apostrophe abuse!

Afternoon West; you know me, sometimes I just cant resist...

So, are you going to tell me how to find this one or do I need to guess again?

Guess, of course, but this ones going to be easier. You have found the apostrophe abuse, havent you?

Well, I havent found the cache but I have the coordinates, well, geochecker says they're correct...

Fine, that's all youll need to find this one. Plus two more numbers from here

And youll tell me what I'm going to do with all these numbers...?

Yes, I'll tell you. Do you remember how to obtain the final coordinates for the apostrophe abuse?

That I do, I need to...

Stop right there! There's going to be somebody reading here and hoping for clues to the apostrophe abuse! And we dont want to give the game away, do we?

I guess we dont; so I have the coordinates for the apostrophe abuse and two numbers from here...

Subtract them. apostrophe abuse North minus this North, and apostrophe abuse West minus this West.

Mumble, ehm, I think I'm going to borrow a calculator. Back soon...

OK, Im back and Ive subtracted the numbers... and now?

Well, remember how you obtained the final coordinates for the apostrophe abuse from the listed coordinates? Youll need to do exactly the same

Ah, thats easy enough

Of course you'll need to use the listed coordinates from this page, not the ones from the original apostrophe abuse...

Yes, I understand that, Oh, look, certitude says I have the correct coordinates!

Good luck with finding the container now... I suggest to start from the listed coordinates and make your way there on foot or bicycle; if the GPSr is a bit erratic, look to the East rather than to the West
