Geocache Description:

CACHE IS NOT AT POSTED COORDINATES! MUST SOLVE PUZZLE TO FIND ACTUAL CACHE COORDINATES!

This puzzle cache is especially oriented to the literary-minded, who will find a something of particular interest at the cache site. In fact, you might want to bring something to read along with you in case you need it.


Cache is in a quiet suburban neighborhood with lots of parking on the street. There is no need to go onto private property to find this cache, although it is very close to a private residence's front yard. The owner is aware of the cache and has given permission.

There is regular muggle traffic on the road, so be careful, although there is another reason to be on this corner that will make it less suspicious for muggles who see you.

Cache is a small 3x3 tupperware. Please make sure to leave the cache site in the same condition that you found it.

Trackable coin for FTF!

The cache coordinates are:
latitude = AB.CDEFGH
longitude = - IJ.KLMNOP

Clues:
AB = (Katniss Everdeen's District X 3) +4
CD = [ (The "The Answer to Life, the Universe and Everything", according to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy) X 2 ] - 5
E = How many factions are there in the world of the tween hit Divergent series?
FGH = (The title of a famous Bradbury novel, named for the temperature where paper burns) + 26
IJKL = (Year of the famous dystopian Orwell novel X 4) - 491
M = How many Habits do Highly Effective People have, according to Stephen Covey?
NO = (Catch-what? Number of the WW2 novel by Heller) - 2
P = How many towers in the second of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings books?
