GEOCACHING LOGIC PUZZLE
Five cachers
(Lieutenant Dan, CPADad, PoohKitten, CacheMutts,
and NutzNBoltz) met at a large caching
event and became friends. They realized that they were all
getting close to finding their 1000th cache, and decided
to have a contest. Each
cacher lives in a different state
(Kansas, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Illinois), where
they found their 1000th cache. Each cacher also likes different types of caches, and
made sure their 1000th find was their favorite cache
type.
Using the clues below, solve the logic puzzle,
identifying the place in which each cacher finished, the state in which they found the
cache, and what type of cache they found for their
1000th cache.

When you have finished, use the solution to
solve the coordinates, where First
Place = 1, Second Place = 2, etc.
N 38 AB.CDE
W 104 FG.HIJ
A = The place in
which the cacher from Wisconsin
finished.
B = The place in
which the cacher that found the
Traditional cache finished.
C = Add three to the place in which
CPADad (who is not from Illinois)
finished.
D = The place in
which NutzNBoltz (who is from either
Illinois or Wisconsin) finished.
E = Add four to the place in which
CacheMutts finished.
F = The place in
which the cacher from Pennsylvania
finished.
G = Multiply the
place in which the cacher from Kansas
finished times the place in which the cacher that found the Event cache finished.
H = The place in
which PoohKitten finished.
I = The place in
which the cacher from Illinois
finished.
J = Multiply the
place in which the cacher from Colorado
finished times the place in which the cacher from Kansas finished.

coincidental. At the
time of the creation of this puzzle, none of the cache names was
being used.)
