This is an unknown cache. A puzzle cache.

The given co-ordinates are nothing to do with the cache but are reasonably close to where the cache is hidden. The co-ordiates can be found by answering the given questions. As the title of the cache suggests, you will be asked a number of pop quiz questions. Some answers may be obvious while others may need a little looking up, or even a bit of searching around.

This pop quiz cache mainly focuses on 1952-1975.

I can not see any major problems with obtaining answers, but, if it turns out some questions are awkward i will adjust or add hints..... but lets see how it goes first though!


Hope you enjoy this little pop quiz!!
