I Love Lucy is an American icon. It was the most watched television program in America for four years. Even today over 40 million Americans watch I Love Lucy each year. This cache is a tribute to Lucy, Ricky, Fred & Ethyl, along with all the other stars of the show that have made us laugh over the past 60 years.
To find the cache simply answer the questions and fill in the number associated with the corresponding letter in the following coordinates-

The final resting spot shouldn't be too hard to find once you answer the questions. As a side note, while placing this cache I discovered that the final hiding spot used to be occupied by another cache, long since archived. In fact, I had to remove the remnants of that cache in order to place this one.
