Geocache Description:



THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED CO-ORDINATES


I grew up playing scrabble mostly with my mum, but my nan and sisters had the odd game with me too. Dictionary always on hand and the very occasional 7 letter word to lift our spirits!


Mum & I have always played with the motto, "A quick game’s a good game!" Therefore I have followed that with this cache and shouldn't prove too difficult with a little game knowledge or simple research.


To find this cache, you will need to answer the following;

What are the values on the tiles G.P.S.? = A.B.C.
What year was Scrabble first published? Add the numbers together until you have 1 number left = D
What is the highest score you could achieve by placing the word CACHE on the board? = EF


One you have the letters, do the following;

Add DEF to the south co-ord

Minus ABC from the east co-ord


Cache is a small sistema, common hide you’ve all seen before! There is a medal for FTF
