Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates but you can park there. This is my contribution to the "Keep Caching Interesting" series proposed by Captain Jon.


The cache is also NOT at the coordinates that the puzzle solution brings you to, but you will find directions to the final there. If you find a log where the puzzle solution brings you, please remove it for me.

To make this one interesting, I am having a special "Bushwhacking Makes Me Thorny" tee shirt made up for the first to find - see graphic below.

>One day after coming home from a long day of caching in the woods, I took off my pants to begin the chore of picking the thorns out of them. My wife noticed and called me a thorny devil. The way she said it with a wink made me think she was being nice, but when I looked up thorny devil on the interweb, I guess I was wrong.

As a public service, I thought I would have you learn something about Thorny Devils so if your mate ever calls you one, you won't make the same mistake I did.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Go to N43 A.BBC W077 DE.FFG where:

A = the number of letters in the Thorny Devil genus.

B =the number of letters in the Thorny Devil species minus the number of letters in the Thorny Devil genus minus 1.

C = the number of letters in the Thorny Devil species plus 1.

D = how many years it takes the Thorny Devil to reach maturity.

E = the number of ants a Thorny Devil can eat in a minute divided by 9.

F = the number of ants a Thorny Devil eats in a single meal divided by the number of ants a Thorny Devil eats in a single meal.

G= up to how many months it may take the Thorny Devil's eggs to hatch.

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
