I wanted to make a puzzle that was not to hard yet still had to make you think a little bit to get the answer. So I made some multiple choice questions for you to answer! I will adjust the difficulty of the cache accordingly with the feedback that appears. I have taken many different geography courses so the questions will be from across the very broad subject of geography. Below you will find ten multiple choice questions, each has one correct answer. Along with each correct answer will be the correct number you need to find the true coordinates to the cache. There is a western lotto 649 ticket with the extra entered in the cache as a FTF prize! That means that the FTF could possibly win you one million dollars! What are you waiting for? get answering!
GZ area can be very icy in the winter time, be careful! Congrats to J2D2 on FTF!
