As some of you may or may not know, I am a major Star Trek fan. My love of the show started when I was 7 years old watching reruns of the Original Series and new episodes of The Next Generation. I was hooked from the very first episode. From 1987 until 2005 there was always a Star Trek incarnation on the air and each new episode was a highlight of my week. I have actually gone to a couple conventions. People think that they may sound geeky, but actually they are really fun time I have decided to create a series of caches inspired by the show. To start the series off, I have decided to quiz you on your knowledge of Trek. For my fellow Trekkers, this should be solved in a pinch. Others, you may need some help.
1. What is the registry number of the Enterprise of the Original Series? Add up all the numbers until it reaches a single digit. Assign that number to the letter A.
2. What season of Star Trek: The Next Generation was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series? Assign that number to the letter B.
3. On Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, what was Deep Space Nine’s former name? Add up all the letters in the name. Assign that number to the letter C.
4. On Star Trek: Voyager, what is Voyager’s top warp speed? Add up all the numbers until it reaches a single digit. Assign that number to letter D.
5. On Star Trek: Enterprise, how fast was the Enterprise NX-01’s engine designed to go? Assign that number to the letter E.

To solve for the coordinates
N (A-E) (C-G)° (A-B) (D+E).(D X 2) (A-C) (A) W (E+D-C) (I)(F-H)° (H-J) (E-F-J).(J) (I-D)(G-D)
