Geocache Description:

This is a mystery cache!  The geocache will not be found at the listed coordinates.  You must solve the logic puzzle below to determine the true coordinates. Logic puzzles are my favorite kind of puzzle and this is one that I made myself.  You can print out the chart below to help you solve the puzzle based on the given clues. 


Last Sunday, five geocachers (Bookish33, KirkGibson, Morningfox, Hajikamo, and CaptainGoose) were out hiding their new caches.  Each geocacher placed their cache at a different location (Joshua tree, Bush, Electrical Box, Telephone Pole, or Fence Post), and at a different time (1:00, 2:00, 6:00, 7:00, or 9:00PM).  From the following clues, can you determine where each geocacher hid their cache and at what time?

1) The five geocachers are: 1)CaptainGoose, 2)Hajikamo, 3)the person that hid a cache in a Joshua tree, 4)the person that hid a cache at 1:00 PM, and 5) the person that hid a cache on a fence post.

2)Bookish33 hid her cache at least six hours later than the person that hid a cache on an electrical box.

3)KirkGibson, who didn't hide his cache before 7:00 pm, did not hide his cache in a bush or on a telephone pole.

4)CaptainGoose hid her cache in a bush exactly 4 hours before the person that hid their cache on a telephone pole.

5)Bookish hid her cache before KirkGibson, but not on a fence post.
