Geocache Description:

This is a place known for its cheese, so here’s a little adventure to get you thinking about cheese and to bring you to this great little village! All the answers necessary to find this cache can themselves be found in a very popular skit concerning cheese which you can find on YouTube.


Now, as I’m sure you know, the cache is NOT at the posted coordinates; however, it is nearby and can be found through answering these questions;

  1. In the mentioned skit a certain actor asks a lot; who is the actor doing the asking? Converted to numbers (A=1 and B=2 and so on), what is the digital root of this actor’s last name? Add 53 to this number to find A.
  2. If the first cheese asked for is #1, follow this link (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOrgLj9lOwk) to learn to which number thou shalt count to answer this question (Armaments 2: 9-21). Then, find the digital root of the numerical equivalent of this cheese’s name (you may need to consult the dialogue itself, which can be found below*). Multiply this number by 244 and thou shalt find B.
  3. Balderson Cheese is considered one of the world’s finest producers of the aged form of which popular cheese, which in this skit is referred to as the single most popular cheese in the world. Find the digital root of the name of this type of cheese. Multiply your answer by 2 and add 5 to get C.
  4. How many different types of cheese are mentioned in this skit? Add 794 to this number to find D.

The coordinates necessary to locate the cache itself are in the form of N 44 A.B W 76 C.D

The final cache location can be accessed fairly easily, but will be far more difficult in the winter. The cache itself contains only a log, so please bring your own pen. Perhaps after making the find you could infiltrate the nearby place of purveyance to negotiate the vending of some cheesy comestibles!

Enjoy!

Congratulations to jodan for the first to find!
