Geocache Description:

This cache was inspired by the 2011 Venona Activities. It is not located at the posted coordinates.



I went out for my usual morning run today but when I turned on my mp3 player the top song on my playlist was not what I expected. The song sounded all scrambled up and out of order. Thinking it might be a glitch I went on to the next song in the playlist but it was all scrambled up too. My entire playlist had been sabotaged! Who could have such Audacity!? I can't set new personal best times on sports drinks alone. I need my playlist repaired! I'll hire only those who are qualified. If you can repair my song I'll reward you with the contract.

Below is the enciphered location of the contract. It is encrypted with an RC4 stream cipher. To decrypt it you can use the decoder at http://rc4.online-domain-tools.com. Just copy and paste the cipher text into the Input text box. Make sure the input type is text and make sure you click the Hex button beneath the box. The function should be RC4 (ARCFOUR) and the mode should be STREAM. Then enter the song title in ALL CAPS without any spaces into the KEY field. Make sure the plaintext button is selected beneath the key field. Click the Decrypt button. The decrypted contract location will appear below. If you get gibberish you have the wrong song title or you made a typo.
