Geocache Description:


This is one of a series of 30 caches related to popular board games past or present. In each case an Internet search will be needed to calculate the whereabouts of the cache, once you have solved the problem.

Supposedly by the inventor of Monopoly, this 1930s Parker game flopped after an initial run of 100,000 copies. The game is now a collector’s item, but the chairs within are easily broken, which makes finding complete games difficult, so bear that in mind when buying a set and you are half way there.

Find the year the game was first published (YYYY)

The total number of share certificates in the set (XX)

The sale price of the Eastman Kodak shares (£ZZZ or $ZZZ)

The number of chairs in a set. (W)

Calculate (YYYY+W+ZZZ) then multiply your answer by XX to get ABCDEF

The cache is not at the co-ordinates shown, but can be found in the vicinity of

North (ED-A) (FF) . (Nena’s balloons) East (F-A) (DE) . (EDC-C)

You are looking for a 35mm canister. Pencil required.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.
