Monkey Business Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

OneMatchFox: Think it's time to put this one too bed. Unfortunately I am unable to perform maintenance for it and am not likely to be able to do so for some time to come. Given the low number of finds I'm not sure it's worth the effort either. Time to free up the spot for some else. Thanks to all who logged the cache or tried to solve the puzzle. Long may puzzle ridge reign [}:)]

Geocache Description:

Strange events are a foot up on Puzzle Ridge. Can you help resolve them?

Cache is not at published coordinates


A lot of funny stuff has been going on up on Puzzle Ridge of late - of particular concern though is that caches are being buggled left right and centre!?! Scarcely a week goes by without yet another cache being disabled due to those pesky baboons. How dare they? It’s enough to drive anybody mad! Eventually, you decide enough is enough and set off to determine who the culprit is.

Whilst out wandering around in search of clues you come across 5 baboons playing twister. One of them runs away as soon as he sees you. Ha ha! The guilty party always runs! However, the others are all rather busy with what they're doing and can't help you identify him. Can you figure out who the guilty party is?


Monkey Business Twister Board

The Baboons


To find the cache, solve the code below given that the runaways name is spelt RHRFLHLF and that green dots are worth 1, yellow 2, blue 3 and red 4 and also that the values increase proportionally from left to right.
S34 (ALH+PRH-MLH).(XRH+PLF-MLF*MRH)(DRF/XLH)(ALF+DRH-PLH), E018 (PRF+MRF-ARH+XRF).(XLF*DLF-XRF)(ARF-XLF)(DRH-MRH)

FTF Honours go to capeccr. Although, the real honours should go to Terunkie for being the 1st to actually unravel the twister!
