Geocache Description:

After my last trio of devious puzzles, here's one that's easy-peasy!

This cache is dedicated to all cachers who suffer from a shortened attention span, whether due to neurological, psychological or age-related issues.
Please read the instructions below in their entirety before you do anything!!!


1. Read each and every instruction on this cache page before you do anything. You will need scissors, a red pen, a black Sharpie, and a metric ruler.

2. Take one sheet of standard letter-sized paper (8.5”x11”) and use your scissors to cut it down to A4 format (210mm × 297mm). Insert the paper into your printer’s paper feed. Print out page one of the cache description page. *Important! Remember to choose the “A4” paper size on your printer set-up screen!

3. Take your red pen and print your name at the top left corner of your printout then underline your name with a wavy line.

4. Now take your black Sharpie and circle the word “cache” each and every time it appears on your printout.

5. Count the number of black circles and multiply that number by three. Write your result HERE__________

6. Change the default language on your GPSr to Flemish.

7. Stand facing your webcam/computer monitor. While hopping on one foot, rub your tummy with one hand, pat your head with the other, and hum “Froggie Went A-Courting”.

8. Quietly walk to your front door, open it wide and shout “I am a proud geocacher and I don’t care who knows!”

9. Pick up your phone and dial the digits of posted coordinates, backwards. This will connect you to Dial-A-Hint where you can obtain the correct coordinates for GZ by pressing the % key.

10. This step, #10, is the one and only step you need to perform in order to find the cache. Project a waypoint from the posted coordinates, 299.5 degrees, 2,505 metres.

11. This is the last instruction on the cache page but it tells you nothing, so if you came here first expecting to see the solution, you need to go back and start from the beginning again.

The container is hidden within easy reach but you can't ride your bike to it. The area around GZ can be very, very popular so be at your stealthy best.
