GAG15 - Melancholy Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

NutCluster: The cache container is gone. If you have solved this, but it’s not found yet. I’m sorry. I won’t be replacing the cache as I live too far away to maintain this one.

Maybe I’ll redo the puzzle somewhere closer to home.

Thanks for playing!

Geocache Description:

Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates
This cache has been placed for the GAG15 event which begins at 6:00 PM on November 12, 2010.

Anyone searching for the cache before then risks copious amounts of public ridicule!

*** NO THROUGH TRAFFIC ***

Access this cache via Innes road, do a U-Turn and return to Innes road. I did speak to owner of the only house on this street about increased traffic due to this geocache. I have been informed that police do frequently pull people over for using this as a "short cut" so for your safety and the safety of your wallet please obey all road signs.


Can you divide the pattern below into 85 strips of four different numbers, the sum of which totals 34 on each strip?


There are 86 different four-number totals using numbers from 1 to16 and adding up to 34. All 86 appear in the grid below except for one.

Can you find the missing one?
