Geocache Description:


THIS CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. Looking for the cache there is a dumb way to die.
 
Dumb Ways to Die
This cache is based off of "Dumb Ways to Die", a song by the Melbourne metro in Australia, promoting safety around trains. It is very catchy, and I decided that it would be perfect to base a puzzle off of.
The puzzle is pretty simple. In order to solve it, you must watch the "Dumb Ways to Die" video and gather information from it. The video is accessible at http://youtu.be/IJNR2EpS0jw or http://dumbwaystodie.com. If you can't find it there, it is also on my website at http://geocaching.arimendelson.com/GC43J5G/DumbWaysToDie.mp4.

The cache is hidden at N 39 AB.CDE W 077 FG.HIJ

A = Number of Serial killers in the last chorus
B = Second digit in total number of ways to die mentioned in the song
C = Number of train cars in the first train
D = Number of letters in the name of sponsor of video
E = Number of seeds on the dandelion, minus seven
F = Second digit in number of water ripples
G = Number of yellow bottles on the shelf
H = Number of corn kernels
I = Number of green bottles on the shelf, plus one
J = Number of pies shown in the first chorus, plus seven

The cache itself is a bison tube attached to a tree. It might be a little hard to reach for some, so the terrain rating is accordingly set. Please make sure you sign the physical logbook before logging a find online - solving the puzzle is only half the fun!
