Geocache Description:

This "liar's cache" is located inside the building. The coordinates will bring you to the entryway. The cache should be accessible to anyone, if you can figure out the puzzle. Even though this liar's cache itself is a reference work, it was inspired by the cache's proximity to the great number of writings in the building, many of which are fiction.

Congratulations to Arthur & Trillian for being Fourth-to-Find!

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. The cache is inside the building. Hours of operation, and thus cache availability, are Monday-Friday, 9 a.m. to 6 p.m., Saturday, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and Sunday, 1 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Reading is fundamental. But so is writing. This cache focuses on the latter.

The cacher wanting to log this cache must first determine where it is located within the building, and to do that, you will have to solve the puzzle. The format of the information you need is "R ABC.D RIF". (The "R" at the beginning and the "RIF" at the end are part of the data you need, but are not part of the puzzle. Only the A, B, C, and D need to be solved.)

So, without further adieu:
What the "Fonz" said = 7.
The creature that lives in a hive = 9.
Oh, say can you ___= 6.
The alliteration in "Dewey Decimal" = 5.

If you can figure out this extraordinarily difficult puzzle, you will be able to find the cache and sign the log. However, when you log your find online, embellish your log in the spirit of the cache and fine fiction! Non-compliant logs may be deleted. Then again, they may not be--this is a liar's cache! Bring a writing instrument!

Permission to place this cache was granted by the library director, Helen Rigdon. Many thanks to her and to Franzzoey, who worked to get the cache shelved!
