The first in a Comedian Series of puzzle caches! This one pays homege to Mel Brooks!
I drive by here several times every week. I thought the cache site would be neat for my FIRST EVER cache. jecepe08 inspired the idea of caches paying homage to our favorite comedians. I recently heard an interview of Mel Brooks on an NPR radio show, and thus the idea for this cache was born! FTF will find a 2 dollar bill that you can track on wheresgeorge.com. Well, on to the puzzle! There's much to do, and less time to do it in!
Note: The GPS coordinates shown are not the coordinates for the cache. To Get the actual coordinate, please have some fun with some Mel Brooks trivia, while solving the following:
N 40 AB.CDE

___
A- This number is the number of chidren Mel Brooks had. Well, his wives, as it were. With him.
B- This number is the number of characters that Mel Brooks played as an actor in Spaceballs.
C- This is the number of "our forefathers" that appear on-screen at the beginning of History of the World Part 1.

F- This number is the number of characters that Mel Brooks played as an actor in History of the World Part 1.
G- This is the number of dead Spaceball troopers that appear on-screen right after Princess Vespa mowed them down like Rambo. Her hair was shot, and boy was she mad!
H- This number is the sum of the second number of the combination to Druidia's air shield AND the number of archers that appear on-screen during the opening credits of Robin Hood Men In Tights between Amy Yasbeck and Mark Blankenfield. Helpful Tip! : Nearby Hunter Library usually has a copy of the DVD that you can check out. That way you can pause where needed. Also while there, you may want to find GC1F0EN...
I- This is the number of letters in the first and last names of the director of Young Frankenstein.
J- This is the last digit of the year in which Mel Brooks was born.
The given waypoint is the dead center of the center of a sort of traffic circle. The cache ins't there, but is 1/4 mile away. Solving the puzzle will put you within 10 feet of the cache, so I didn't try too hard to hide this from Geocachers. Casual passers-by probably won't know it's there. The hint will be a giveaway, if you have the right coordinates.
