Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES.  You are looking for a pill bottle.


A couple of years ago, a friend of mine introduced me to his favorite television show of all time - a show that only ran for a short time over ten years ago. This show, a fantasy, sci-fi western called Firefly, soon became one of my favorites as well. This puzzle cache is dedicated to a television gem that was gone before its time, as well as the movie that came about because of overwhelming fan support.



You must answer each question to solve the coordinates for the puzzle.
Coordinates are in the form N 33° AB.CDE W 087° FG.HIJ

Letter A - The third digit in the year in which the show Firefly is set.
Letter B - The number of seasons that Firefly aired on Fox.
Letter C - The number of original crew members on the Firefly-class spaceship known as Serenity. Do not include passengers and other fellow travelers.
Letter D - How many of the crew and passengers on the Serenity died during the television series? In this case, we're only talking about the regular cast members.
Letter E - In the episode "Objects in Space," a bounty hunter that shares the name of a Confederate Civil War general invades the Serenity. How many letters are in his first name?
Letter F - How many episodes of the series were completed but never aired during the show's initial run?
Letter G - During the episode "Out of Gas," how many crew members remain behind on the Serenity when the ship's air supply begins to fail?
Letter H - Subtract the number of letters in Malcom Reynolds' current title from the number of letters in his military rank.
Letter I - The number of letters in the first name of the writer and creator of Firefly.
Letter J - River Tam repeats a phrase when agitated, especially when she senses two mysterious contractors for the Alliance closing in on her. How many words are in the phrase?

If you agree that this cache is "shiny," please give it a favorite point!
