Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Use the puzzle below to find the coordinates. This is #5 in the Neogeo585 puzzle challenge series, read about them here: About the Challenge .




Notes about this cache: This cache is based upon one of my favorite puzzles: Verbal Alchemy (KPC2011) . Do not think that because you have solved it that this one will be any easier though. I fully expect this to be my most difficult one to date. As such, if the first solver solves it in advance of the second to solve by a day or more they will get 3 points extra for every day in advance of the second. Also because one may solve the coordinates without completely solving everything, I will mail a commercial first version Tuttminx puzzle (autographed if desired) to the first person that sends me the COMPLETE solutions (including the title). The bonus cache hint this month will be extremely useful... if you can understand it.
Cache: Do not use the direct route!
Congratulations to teamajk for the FTS and FTF

Also congratulations to fmoraes along with his helpers LuckysGirls and SilentP42 for the first complete solution!
