This puzzle is
a little like the shell game where you need to keep track of where
the pea is. While this game has no pea, it is important to pay
attention to detail as to the movement of information within the
following grid:
To solve
this puzzle, complete the following
tasks:
Column 1: This
column has been filled in with the beginning information for
you.
Column 2:
Unscramble the letters in column 1 to form a common word, and place
in grid from top to bottom.
Column 3: For
each letter in column 2, determine the word that starts with that
letter and count the number of letters in that
word:
1W) Postal abbreviation of the 50th state of the
United States
1E) To
take away surreptitiously by force; to
kidnap
1H) A
hint given by shutting the eye with a significant
cast
1Y) Moving or causing motion;
active, as opposed to
latent
1E) The reflux or flowing back
of the
tide
1A) A long knife, or short
saber, common among Mohammedan
nations
1K) Excited by desire in the
pursuit of any
object
Column 4: Reduce the numbers in column 3 by
one.
Column 5: Using the word equivalent of the numbers in
column 4, re-sort the numbers in alphabetical order
(A-Z).
Column 6: Increase the numbers in column 5 by
two
Column 7: Using the Spanish word equivalent of the numbers
in column 6, re-sort the numbers in reverse (Z-A) alphabetic
order.
Using your solution in column 7, cache is located
at:
N 41° 54.(W-2)(E-6)(H+1)
W 90° 0(Y-1).(E-7)(A+4)(K-2)
PLEASE NOTE: The container
is inside a "holder". You MUST sign the logsheet found INSIDE the
container or your find log will be deleted. When you find the
container, do not use force to open it. There is a
very simple way to do that, and the information to accomplish that
task is somewhere on this page. Container size listed is
appropriate as it is much larger than a micro but there is only
room for a log, so don’t forget to bring an extraction tool
and a pen/pencil to sign your
name!!
