A multi-cache with three stages. Suggested parking at N50 59.918 W001 27.179, where there is space for two cars. Easily made into a circular walk – look on a map! We walk in this area regularly and have seen deer a number of times, especially in the summer. Paths can be rather muddy in winter. Gates and stiles (depending on direction of approach) make it unsuitable for pushchairs etc. Suggest it is combined with our other cache in this area, ‘Crampmoor – Hidden Treasure’.
**This cache was previously called Crampmoor-Multi. I have substantially simplified the puzzle to sovle and reclassified it as a mystery cache. If you have tried before and found the puzzle too difficult perhaps you may like to try it now! ***
Solve the puzzles to obtain the co-ordinates for the cache.
A calculator and pen and paper may be useful as some multiplication and addition will be needed!
First stage
Five teachers, who each teach different subjects and excel at different sports, solve a puzzle for a mystery geocache in different times. You have the following information.
The teachers names are James, Kendra, Lilliana, Nina and Vincent.
The subjects they teach are Art, Maths, Home economics, Science and Drama respectively.
The sports in which they excel – in reverse order – are Bowling, Curling, Billiards, Football and Golf.
The times taken to solve the puzzle were 2 mins 59 secs,3 mins 2 secs, 3 mins 5 secs, 3 mins 14 secs, 3 mins 19 secs. The following four statements can be used to work out who had which time.
1. The science teacher finished with a time of 2 mins 59 secs.
2. The five people were the maths teacher, the person who finished with a time of 3 mins 5 secs, the curling star, Vincent and home economics teacher.
3. Of Vincent and the person who taught maths, one completed the puzzle in 3 mins 19 secs and the other is the football star.
4. Kendra finished before the billiards star.
You need to know which teacher teaches which subject, is good at which sport and took how long to solve the puzzle.
Bring this information with you to the published co-ordinates where you will find a 35mm container. Open the container to obtain further instructions. Please replace the instructions.
Second stage N50 59.xyz W001 27.pqr
Instructions on finding xyz, pqr are in the container at stage 1.
Third and final stage:
At the second stage co-ordinate you will see a sign over the railway line with two three digit numbers, add these together and remember your result. Walk East beside the railway about 75m to a stile. Cross the railway (carefully looking out for trains!). On the other side you will see a blue diamond sign with two two digit numbers. Add these together, double your answer and add the answer from the first sign to give a three digit number abc.
Using your answer to the logic puzzle:
Let X = the no. of seconds taken by the bowling star multiplied by the no. of letters in James’s sport
Let Y = the no. of letters in Nina’s subject multiplied by the no. of letters in Lilliana’s sport.
def = X+Y

WARNING: you should be fairly close to the cache now and you only need to use public footpaths - if your co-ordinates suggest otherwise check everything again!
Small camouflaged clip and lock box.
