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.

    Ahab the Arab

"Ahab the Arab" was one of Ray Steven's bigger hits reaching no 5 on the Billboard 100. It is classic, corny Ray Stevens. He has recorded several versions of the song, so be aware that the questions have been set from this video.

The cache is at   South 36° AB.CDE   East 174° FG.HIJ

A = How many rings did Ahab wear on each hand?

B = How many times do we see the Sultan’s camel?

C = How many times is Clyde mentioned?

D = How many men in the Sultan’s whole army?

E = How many items of fruit plus candy bars does Fatima eat?

F = How many bracelets does Fatima wear on her left arm?

G = The sum of the last two digits of the year this song reached # 5.

H = How many times was the Sultan hit on the head? x 2

I = There are references to how many different songs in Ahab the Arab? + 1

J = How many types of jewel does Ahab wear?
