The coordinates given above are not the location of the cache. No
need for your swimming trunks this time!
In order to find this cache, you will need to solve the following
puzzle:
There are 208 geocachers on the Isle of Man. Each of them was asked
if they liked traditional caches, multi-caches and mystery
caches.
4 of them said they liked all three types of cache.
48 of them said they liked traditional caches.
There were twice as many who said they liked both traditional and
mystery caches (but not multi-caches) as who said they liked both
traditional and multi-caches (but not mystery caches), and 4 times
as many who said they liked both traditional and mystery caches
(but not multi-caches) as who liked all three types.
124 geocachers said they liked mystery caches.
27 geocachers said they did not like any of these three types of
cache.
The group of geocachers who said they liked both traditional and
mystery caches (but not multi-caches) was exactly the same size as
the group who said they liked both mystery and
multi-caches.
Actual Cache Location
54° ((E+F)/3).((B+D)-(Ax5))’ N
004° (A+C).((21xF)+(B/2))’ W
Where:
A = The number of geocachers who liked only traditional
caches.
B = The number of geocachers who liked both traditional and
multi-caches but not mystery caches.
C = The number of geocachers who liked both mystery and
multi-caches but not traditional caches.
D = The number of geocachers who liked only mystery
caches.
E = The number of geocachers who liked both mystery and traditional
caches but not multi-caches.
F = The number of geocachers who liked only
multi-caches.
