The cache is NOT at posted coords. This puzzle is at Liberty Park, and you will look at two things at the Community Center, 19211 Studebaker Road in Cerritos. This is an easy puzzle to solve, maybe not so easy to find the final. I saw this statue at the recent event held at the park and had to come back and make a puzzle. This is a milestone for me, it is officially my 50th hide.
Final coords are:
N33 51.ABC
W118 06.DEF
The posted coords put you in front of the liberty bell.
A - There is a year in Roman numerals on the front of the bell. Convert that number. What year is that? The ones digit = A.
Now, go visit Abe:
N33 51.337
W118 06.020
B - How many total pieces of paper are with Lincoln? (not just in his hands). Subtract 1 and that number = B.
C - How many letters did Lincoln use to sign his name at the end of the document? That number = C
D1 - How many buttons do you see on the front of his vest?
D2 - How many buttons do you see on the FRONT of his shirt under the vest?
D3 - How many buttons do you see on the cuffs of his shirt?
D4 -How many buttons do you see on the front and back of his coat that he is sitting on? (count that as one number)
Add those 4 numbers together. The tens digit of that number = D.
E - There are two dates by the artist, Mark Lundeen. There is a plaque on the ground just to the right if you are facing Lincoln. Note the year. There is also a year etched on the back of his vest. Note that year. What is the difference between those 2 years? Subtract 3 and that number = E.
F - How many 7-letter words starting with the letter "c" do you see on the page of the document he is reading? Add 3 and that number = F.
Cache is within walking distance. No room for SWAG, bring your own pen. PLEASE DO NOT REMOVE THE CONTAINER, JUST TAKE OFF THE LID AND USE A TOTT TO RETRIEVE THE LOG. OTHERWISE CONTAINER WILL BREAK IF IT GETS REMOVED AND REPLACED EVERY TIME SOMEONE FINDS IT. THANKS!
