Geocache Description:

DON'T GO TO THE PUBLISHED COORDINATES! YOU MUST SOLVE THE PUZZLE FIRST, OR YOU WILL HAVE NO HOPE OF LOCATING THE CACHE. TRUST ME!

This cache is part of my "Ode to New Zealand" (OTNZ) set. Though the solution has nothing to do with New Zealand, I found a cache there that inspired me to create this one.

This cache is a bit of a paradox. The cache is within 3m of the posted coordinates, but you will NEVER find it if you go there without solving the puzzle.

Find the relationship between the cache title and the clue below.

What would a young Albert Einstein say to the following?

  • September 27, 1905
  • August 30, 1871, or
  • December 10, 1903

PLEASE NOTE: There is absolutely no reason to enter onto or cross private property at any time to access this cache.

Congrats to Penguin Expeditions for the FTF!
