This cache has been placed for the Ottawa GAG 22 caching event. Please don’t log it, or search for it before 6:00 PM, Friday November 7th lest you be subject to the wrath and shaming of the Spanish Inquisition. Naively anticipating that you wouldn’t get caught and that this couldn’t possibly happen to you? Well – “Nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition!” Excerpt from Monty Python’s “The Argument Sketch”
Customer: “An argument isn't just contradiction.”
Agent: “It can be.”
Customer: “No it can't. An argument is a connected series of statements intended to establish a proposition.”
Agent: “No it isn't.”
The cache ISN’T located at the posted coordinates, but does lie within one kilometer of them. Indeed, the cache is located at N45 1A.BCD, W075 4E.FGH. All you have to do to ascertain the coordinates is to assess the statements below, and figure out how to use the results. I anticipate that true Monty Python fans, without even looking at the title of this cache or paying attention to the excerpt (ahem, just above), will be able to ascertain the location of the cache without resorting to a search engine or other reference materials.
