Geocache Description:

A couple of puzzle caches that were published to mark August’s geocaching streak got us thinking of some other songs that have made us smile. And so an idea for a small series of puzzles was born.

My Boomerang Won't Come Back

"My Boomerang Won't Come Back" was a novelty song by British comedian Charlie Drake which became a surprise hit on both sides of the Atlantic in 1961. It was hardly a paragon of political correctness even by 1961 standards. It sold well in record stores, but had to be re-recorded with a slight alteration before it could receive much radio airtime.



The cache is at   South 36° 4A.BCD   East 174° 3E.FGH

A = The number of singers with belts minus the number wearing neck ties

B = The number of bushwackers.

C = How many in the first set of dancing stick figures?

D = The sum of the digits in the number of chickens plus 1.

E = The number of singers times the number wearing watches.

F = How many red crosses are there?

G = How many red crosses by the end of the song?

H = How many yellow ties around Mack’s neck?
