Geocache Description:

Since we live in Stratford, ON, which is home to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, we thought we'd put together a Shakespeare-themed puzzle for you to solve. The posted coordinates are not the cache coordinates, but close enough. See also the 2012 version of the cache if you haven't found it already!


Answer the following 5 questions, each related to one of the four Shakespearean plays on the 2011 Stratford Festival Playbill, to get the cache coordinates:

Question 1: In King Richard III, Act 3, Scene 2, when Hastings asks "What is't o'clock?" what time does the Messenger reply?

___
A

Question 2: In Titus Andronicus, Act 1, Scene 1, how many hundred years has the Tomb of Andronici stood? (The answer is a single digit number - the hundred of years divided by 100.)

___
B

Questions 3: In King Richard III, Act 2, Scene 3, how old (in months) was Henry the Sixth when he was crowned in Paris?

___
C

Questions 4: In Twelfth Night, Act 1, Scene 2, when Viola asks the Captain "Know'st thou this country?" the Captain indicates that he was born and bred several hours from the location where they met. How many hours travel is the place where the Captain was "born and bred"?

___
D

Question 5: In the Merry Wives of Windsor, Act 3, Scene 3, at what time does Mistress Page plan to send for Falstaff?

___
E

The cache coordinates are:

N  43° 22.A0B
W 080° 57.CDE

Please be as stealthy as possible in this muggle-intensive area, especially in the warmer months. We left a toonie for the first to find. An Indonesian coin and a wooden hot air balloon bead were left for trading. The pen is for signing and not for trading. Please leave it in the container for others to sign the log with. Last but not least, please put the container back to where you found it.

Happy searching!
