Geocache Description:


The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

At an event cache I hosted the other day, six of us got together for breakfast. For an hour or so, we were one big happy family! It was the start of one of those great days! After the event, TeamMathfreak gave me this cool container. You'll have to solve the puzzle to find out where I placed it.

In many families, the two oldest people are Mom and Dad. In this family, Mom is older than Dad; in fact, when Dad was born, you could subtract 11 from Mom's age and get a relevant number. When kids are involved, the first-born might be a boy. That's the case here. The day after the oldest was born, Dad's age was 2½ times a certain number. And as for Mom's age the day the oldest was born, reversing those digits yields an important result!

After the oldest, twin girls came. They were born a week apart (!), a number of weeks after their older brother. A boy was the youngest in the family. When he was just two days old, the age of his oldest sister was, um, relevant! This family is sure to have many exciting geocaching adventures. Perhaps November 19, 2013 will be a great day for them--by then these six will have many days as geocachers under their collective belts!


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Congratulations to LostSailRs for their FIRST-EVER FTF! WTG!
