Geocache Description:


The Canadian passport is a valuable document which allows Canadians to travel the world (to go geocaching in foreign lands perhaps?)

 

In order to find the coordinates of this cache, calculate the digital root (DR) of the following six questions and then substitute the value of the corresponding letter.

 

N45° 35.ABC  W076° 49.DEF

 

A)  Canadian passports have been subject to abuse over the years.  One example was the use of the identity of a deceased Canadian by a Russian spy in 1961.  Calculate the DR of the last name of the spy, then add 2.

 

B)  What image appears on the cover of all Canadian passports? (four word term excluding the word "the") Add 2 to the DR.

 

C)  What is the current applicant's cost (as of July 2013) of an adult 5 year Canadian passport? Subtract 3 from DR of your answer.

 

D)  If you were a Canadian diplomat, what colour would the cover of your passport be? Add 2 to the DR. 

 

E)  What is the acronym of the international organization which sets the standards and specifications of passports around the world? Add 1 to the DR of the acronym.

 

F)  There is now a special symbol on the cover of passports issued after July 2013. What kind of designation of type of passport does this indicate? Subtract 3 from the DR.  

 

The cache container is large enough to hold the log book, geocoins, smallish travel bugs and small sized swag.  It contains a couple of pencils, some swag to start and a prize for the FTF! 

 

HAVE A GOOD TRIP (even if it's only "Up the Valley")!!!
