Want a puzzle? You got one! Depending on how often you read
popular novels you'll either recognise the puzzles below as mangled
versions of what they really are or just sit there going …
huh? Don't be put off by the number of steps
involved!
It's 100% possible to solve all this without using *any* of the
hints attached to this cache listing - if you do, please say so in
your log and I reckon you'll earn everyone's
respect That said, there are 2 hints for this cache as
I'm not intending this puzzle to be unsolvable. They
should light the way reasonably clearly if you engage the ol' grey
matter …
Part 1
Find me on The Googles on The Internets
- A = How many members were there in the political alliance the
'First Triumvirate', of which Julius Caesar was a member?
- Julius Caesar was considered a great man. BC = the
racing number of the man voted Australia's greatest ever touring
car driver.
- D = The number of letters in the name of the country often
considered the origin of the salad named after Julius Caesar.
- EF = The date in July that Julius Caesar was born.
- GH = Julius Caesar's age, when he died.
- I = The last name of the man mentioned in all the questions, so
far. Just the name … to make sure you're paying
attention. ;-)
Part 1a
Now that you've learnt a few things, it's time to get stuck in
...
Part 2
Part 3
You're on your own from here … get that brain going!
Part 4
Part 5
If you've done everything correctly so far, part 4 should make
more sense now ... write it down when you figure out the
pattern.
Part 6
(Cell A4)(C)(Cell G3)(Cell C4)
Part 7
Use the following simple substitution formula in conjunction
with your answers in the previous parts to work out the final cache
coordinates.
S 37° 4(A+3).(E)(H+2)(F) E 144°
(G)(C+2).(D)(B + 10 - 2)(E + F + 2)

Having trouble? There is a definite pattern in the
puzzles above ... you just need to figure it out. It's
difficulty rating 4 though so that's all I'm
saying. :-)
Please replace the cache exactly as you find it - thanks!
