Unknowns Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Geocaching HQ Admin:
Mob caches were published as an experiment using specific technology that required players to be in the same place and to enter a code at the same time to learn the final coordinates. This was an exception to the guidelines at the time and is not a publishable concept today.

The original site used for this purpose has been removed, and therefore, HQ has decided to archive all active caches originally intended to be solved using this method. Due to privacy laws, we are not seeking an alternative site at this time. We are respectfully requesting that the cache owner please remove the cache container and contents as soon as possible.

Geocache Description:

Unknowns. Geocaching, like life, is often full of these. This cache is intended to pay tribute to a few. The container and log are not at the posted coordinates, however you will need to visit there to find them ...

If you visit the posted coordinates, you will find some "Unknowns". However, you will need to also have (at least) the same number of mobile devices (with data connections and web browser) as the number of "Unknowns" you see. I guess one person could carry and juggle this many devices, but it works best (and is intended) to gather along with other cachers ... bring a crowd ...

Access the following website from each device while at (or very near) the posted coordinates: http://chilehead.us/mob/

A single, specific, known number will need to be entered on each device. This number can be calculated as follows:

1) Find the plaque which contains the phrase "ALL MEN ARE CREATED EQUAL".
2) There are four digits (any of the numbers from 0 to 9) on this plaque. Write them down, in ascending order.
3) Apply the following to the digits: +1, +3, +1, -1
If you have trouble reading the above, that's:
plus one (coma) plus three (coma) plus one (coma) minus one
4) And finally, re-order the digits in ascending order.

The resulting number will need to be entered when prompted "Which mob are you attending?".

Again ... remember ... each and every device will need to access the above site. Or, at least, as many devices as there are "Unknowns". And yes, I am keeping that particular number unknown and would appreciate if you do likewise.

However, please do let me know if there are any technical glitches or other things which preclude or prevent finding this cache. Thanks! And enjoy ...
