Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the listed coordinates. It is within a few miles of them. Cache is a green magnetic nano. BYOP.

The Rat Lab is located in Boston, MA. Currently, there are five Postdoctoral Fellows (one is Dr. Brown), each one has been in the lab a different number of years. Each post doc joined the lab in a different month (May, June, July, August, September). Each of the five post docs is from a different country (one is from South Korea) and has coordinated lab ware (racks, ice buckets, pens) of a particular color (one is green). From the clues can you figure out the number of years in the lab, the month each person joined the lab, the country of origin, and the color of the lab ware.
* The five post docs are Dr. Kim, the person with pink racks, the post doc from Belgrade, Serbia, the person who has been in the lab 3 years, and the person who joined in July.
* The post doc who came in September has been in the lab for fewer years than both the person who uses yellow racks and the post doc from the US.
* The person from England came in July, the person who has been in the lab the most years came in August.
* Dr. Tan had the most hectic move in day.
* Dr. Smith, who doesn't use green racks, has been in the lab for more years than the person who uses pink racks.
* The five post docs are the person who uses purple racks, the person who came in August, Dr. Nikolic, the person who came in May, and the person who has been in the lab the shortest time.
* Neither Dr. Kim nor the person from Washington, D.C. use the purple racks.
* The senior post doc uses yellow racks, while the most junior post doc uses pink ice buckets.
* In the year that Dr. Brown joined the lab, the green racks were already taken.
