Description:
The cache can be found at N 49 49.XXX W 097 06.YYY
You need to figure out the values of XXX and YYY based on the problem below:
Two groups of cachers agree to meet each other at the East entrance to Birds Hill Park. Group1 (consisting of Deanna-Hope, Kyle and Fran) leave Beausejour at 3:15pm. 90km/hr on Hwy 215 at 3:15pm. Their car gets 36 mpg. They speed up to 100km/hr once they turn right onto Hwy 12 until they reach birds hill park. Their route is as follows: Hwy 215, Hwy 12, Hwy 44, Hwy 206
Group2 (consisting of William-Peter, Jean-Luc and Violet) leave Transcona (in Winnipeg) at 3:30pm. Their truck gets 22 mpg. They travel at 70 km/hr on the first part of route 115 and then take a risk and travel at 110 km/hr once they reach Hwy 101. Their route is as follows: Route 115, Hwy 15, Hwy 206
Do they arrive at the park at the exact same time? If not, which group arrive first? Who Burns more Gas? Who has the higher average speed? If both groups willing to wander 100m from their travel path, how many geocaches could each group find along the way? How old is Kyle's youngest daughter?
GZ will require significant amount of stealth, thus I've tried to keep the hide itself straight forward and easy. Looking for a smallish pill bottle.
**************************************
To preserve the caching experience, please replace the hide as found, be sure not to drop any give-away hints in your logs (particularly for the puzzle) as this is meant to be challenging. I will delete all logs that provide hints and clues as to the solution of this puzzle. As always, difficulty will be adjusted if it seems needed to most accurately represent the challenge level of this cache. Cordinates are an average of multiple attempts.
What's with the bracket stuff in the title you may be wondering?
It's simply my personal identifier. The last letter (or sometimes only letter) refers to the hide itself and choices will be:
Traditional style of hide - typically the hide should be a typical container hidden in a "typical" caching way
Kid friendly hide - child reachable, findable and room for tradeables. Aimed at the little cachers.
and Evil style of hide - Something about it that makes me rub my hands together maniacally in anticipation. Perhaps more unique camo, different hiding technique, lots of options at GZ...
If there is two letters together, the first will refer to the style of cache. Puzzle, Multi, Earth, Letterbox etc.
The number after the dash simply is the number of hides in that series for me. Don't expect this number to get too big.
Congratulations to the following cachers:
FTF (met all requirements): blazer45
FTS (sign the log): blazer45
FTL (log electronically): blazer45
