This cache is designed to be a moderate puzzle, followed by a quick find but a difficult retrieval. You will see what I mean when you get there. It's located on a quiet country road, one of the 60 caches in the Bones'n'Booth (shortened to B.B.) Series. They are designed to be a variety of puzzles, multis, traditionals and letterbox hybrids of varying size, terrain and difficulty.
In order to solve the puzzle, you must read the following analytical puzzle and answer the question asked. This will leave you with a number between 1 and 1000.
You are the ruler of a medieval empire and you are about to have a celebration tomorrow. The celebration is the most important party you have ever hosted. You've got 1000 bottles of wine you were planning to open for the celebration, but you find out that one of them is poisoned. The poison exhibits no symptoms until death. Death occurs within ten to twenty hours after consuming even the minutest amount of poison.
You have over a thousand slaves at your disposal and just under 24 hours to determine which single bottle is poisoned. You have a handful of prisoners about to be executed, and it would mar your celebration to have anyone else killed.
What is the smallest number of prisoners you must have to drink from the bottles to be absolutely sure to find the poisoned bottle within 24 hours?
Now that you have the answer, divide it by 100 (yes, 100, not 1000)and add it to the following co-ordinates.
N 43 07.653
W 080 01.925
