Geocache Description:

Since we live in Stratford, ON, which is home to the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, we thought we'd put together a Shakespeare-themed puzzle for you to solve every year with questions related to the Shakespearean plays that are currently on the Stratford Festival Playbill. This is the 2012 edition. If you missed the 2011 edition, it can be found here. As usual, the posted coordinates are not the cache coordinates, but close enough.


Answer the following questions to get the cache coordinates:

Question 1: In Much Ado About Nothing, Act 5, Scene 2, how many wise men out of twenty does Beatrice state would not praise himself?

Answer: ___ (A)

Question 2: In Much Ado About Nothing, Act 2, Scene 1, how many pence would it take for Beatrice to lead "apes into hell"?

Answer: ___ (B)

Question 3: In Cymbeline, Act 3, Scene 3, when Belarius compares himself to a tree "whose boughs did bend with fruit", how many nights does he say it will take for this tree to be shaken bare?

Answer: ___ (C)

Question 4: In Henry V, Act 2, Scene 1, how many shillings does Nym win from Pistol in betting?

Answer: ___ (D)

Question 5: In Cymbeline, Act 2, Scene 2, for how long has Imogen/Innogen been reading when her Lady tells her it is midnight?

Answer: ___ (E)

Question 6: In Much Ado About Nothing, Act 3, Scene 3, how many years does the Watchman mention that the "Deformed" has been a thief for?

Answer: ___ (F)

The cache coordinates are:

N 43° 22.ABC
W 080° 58.DEF

Please be as stealthy as possible in this muggle-intensive area, especially when the festival is in full swing. Also, bring your own pen. We left an Indonesian coin for FTF. Please make sure the container is closed properly and put the container back to where you found it.

Happy searching!

Hint: The answers to all the questions can be found at the following websites:
