Geocache Description:



The cache is NOT at the given location. To locate the cache solve the puzzle.



Seven cachers attending a nearby camping event had all booked pitches for the weekend. Can you work out whose tent is on which pitch, the country each cacher is from, what type of cache they prefer to find, and how many caches they found on their way to the camping event?



1) The tent on pitch 2 is owned by the French cacher. The American cacher prefers wherigos.

2) Marie’s tent is immediately to the left of the Chilean cachers. She prefers multi caches and found twice as many as the Spanish cacher, who does not favour letterbox hybrids.

3) Heidi prefers mystery caches. She found more caches than Hugo, who found more than Frank.

4) Brigitte is German. Her tent is two places left of Frank’s, who isn’t at the end of the row, and somewhere right of – but not adjacent to – the UK cacher.

5) The Chilean, who is not next door but one to the Belgian, is further right than Stanley. Pitch one much prefers earth caches.

6) Juan has pitch number 3. Sixteen caches were found by a man whose tent is pitched somewhere left of Frank’s.

7) Heidi is immediately right of the person who has flown over from the States, and who found more caches than the UK cacher. 40 Traditional cache where found by a European cacher, their favourite type.



 Cachers Names: Brigitte, Frank, Heidi, Hugo, Juan, Marie, Stanley
Country: Belgium, Chile, France, Germany, Spain, UK, USA
Favourite cache type: Earth, Letterbox, Multi, Mystery, Traditional, Virtual, Wherigo
Number of finds: 2, 4, 5, 8, 10, 16, 40



Once you’ve solved the puzzle use the information gleaned to obtain the final co-ordinates:

N 51 36.ABC E 0 25.DEF

A = Marie’s pitch number.
B = The combined total of finds by Frank and the person who prefers earth caches.
C = The Belgian cacher’s pitch number.
D = Take Stanley’s total finds from Hugo’s pitch number.
E = The letterbox lover’s pitch number.
F = Juan’s total finds less the number found by the French cacher.
