Geocache Description:

!!!CACHE IS NOT AT THESE COORDINATES!!!!


To find this cache, you are going to first decipher the riddles, fact questions, and problems below to get the answers which will hopefully get you to the first cache location.  Once you have located the first cache location there will be a card in the container with some more information.  Please follow the directions carefully. 

Please read, review, and take notes off of the card.  The card will contain information you need to solve the next three steps to the cache.  DO NOT TAKE THE CARD!  The card must be left  in the cache for fellow cachers or all may be lost.

You may want to set some time aside for this cache.  Depending on your mode of travel and how good of a boy scout you were, this cache could take you several hours or a whole day to complete even after you solve all the clues on this page.

You will need to bring a pen.

With the coordinate above, figure out the the problems below and replace the letters with the number to get the coordinates to the cache and to the meaning of life.

1)  If a bear was not really a bear, and had no relation to a wombat,  how many babies would be in a litter?  Now subtract that number by FOUR.  That number is equal to A.

2)  Count the number of times a COPPERHEAD SNAKE (Agkistrodon contortrix) coils it's body before striking.  That number is equal to B.

3)  When the wind blows at 15 knots , how many time must a Puffin open it's beak to go 1 mile? Take the first digit of that answer.  That number is equal to C.

4)  [(2×32×b3b(-3)b3)(-2)]×[33b4b(-5)]2[2(b-3)+4b-2(b-3)]

            b = D

5)  If a female that was 42 years old and weighed 220 pounds took 2 doses of NyQuil at 9:00 PM.  At what time would she fall asleep if she went to bed at 10:15PM on the 2 previous nights?  The first digit in the  answer is equal to E.

6)  If this was that and that was these, how many times would you have to change those to them in a normal days conversation, in America?  Take the last digit of that answer.  That number is equal to F.
