Geocache Description:



The cache is not at the published coordinates.
This quiz is not meant to be hard, just enough to bump up the difficulty a little bit.
Please answer the questions below to find the cache.

(Q1)The Lilliputians call Gulliver by the term 'Quinbus Flestrin'. What is Gulliver's translation for this Lilliputian term?
7 - Great Man Mountain
8 - Oversized Human Being
9 - Personage of Extraordinary Bulk

(Q2)After a period of time, Gulliver desires to be released from his confines. The King agrees but only under a certain number of conditions. Which of these is not, in essence, one of the conditions?
4 - He must make warning before entering into the metropolis, so the population can confine themselves to their quarters

6 - He must aide Lilliput against its enemy by helping to destroy the enemy's fleet
7 - He must help produce the food and liquid that he will use for personal consumption

(Q3)The King orders that Gulliver's person be searched, and that all items he carries upon his person be catalogued. This provides for much amusement, as the descriptions of each item are given in Lilliputian terms. The two men searching Gulliver conclude, for example, that which of Gulliver's items must be 'the god that he worships'?
5 - A comb
6 - A watch
7 - A scroll of paper

0 - Lustrog
1 - Tramecksan
2 - Brundecral
3 - Blefuscu

(Q5)What is the ridiculous reason behind the war in which Lilliput is currently engaged, and behind the factionalism within the imperial court?

7 - Misunderstanding about how a letter of the alphabet is written
8 - Dispute about the nature of yawning

(Q6)Gulliver is able to end the war between Lilliput and its rival through a brilliant strategem. He steals the enemy's entire navy through subterfuge, thereby disabling them from attacking Lilliput. What body part(s) is Gulliver's one physical concern while pulling off this marvelous feat?
