Geocache Description:

The Office is a sitcom created by Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant first aired on the TV network BBC 2 in 2001. After the great success they had in United Kingdom, Gervais and Merchant went on to create a remake of The Office in the United States for NBC which in it's turn became one of the highest rated TV series with 9 seasons aired.


The series is a mockumentay with characters usually speaking directly to the camera during interviews and even with the TV Crew taking part in the plot in some rare cases. It's focused around a group of employees of the fictional paper company Dundler Miffin and their day to day routine.

The show is very different from most of the well known american sitcoms and it doesn't rely so much on the plot and on the story development as it does on the characters and the way they interact with each other. Truly The Office owes much of it's success to each of the characters that ever made an appearance on the show. Wether it's one of the core cast appearing in all 187 eppisodes or someone who only made a 2 minutes appearance in one of the eppisodes, they all contributed piece by piece to the show's charm. That's why this cache is dedicated to them, to the characters of The Office and of course to the actors that gave them life.

The cache is not at the given coordinates, you will find the cache at N 44 28.[ABC] 26 06.[(D+1)EF]. You can check your coordinates on GeoChecker.com. This will take you to an area well known mostly because thousands of people work there in the huge office buildings. Maybe even some of the geocachers will grab this one on their way to work. Imagine all the stories that those buidings could tell. How many people like Michael Scott or David Brent would we find in these buildings, how many people are actually doing their work and how many just try to prevent others from doing that? Break's over, now let's get to work.

Update: For Oscar's value, please substract 1. Not my fault, this war correct when I created the puzzle but it would be really hard to change that now
