Geocache Description:

"... There's this cat in a box and until you open it, it's either dead or alive or both ...". Penny from the TV show “The Big Bang Theory”.

In 1935, Erwin Schrödinger proposed a thought experiment.  Although this experiment was never actually intended to be performed, it described a cat that was locked in a box and it a had a 50/50 chance of being alive or dead based on a previous random event.  Schrödinger proposed that the cat existed in two states, both dead and alive at the same time until observed.  Once observed, it's fate was known and the cat only existed in one state from that point on

Inspired by the idea of an interesting cache name, I have decided to conduct a version of this experiment in geocache form. Your goal is to find the cache and determine the fate of the cat.  As you log your find, please let everyone know what state the cat was in when you found it.  Photos are welcome as long as they do not give away the location of the hide

This cache is not at the listed coordinates. Solve the puzzle for the final location. Placed with permission. No actual cats were harmed in the making of this cache.
