Geocache Description:

Thinking outside the box lately?  Sometimes it’s what’s in the box that counts.  Our first puzzle cache in riposte to the ones we haven’t been able to solve.  Oh, but when you do have that a-ha moment it has that tingly feeling.enlightened


The above co-ordinates are bogus, you can go but there’s not currently a cache to be found.  In order to find the cache you’ll need to answer the six questions below as the cache is hidden at:

S36 47.ABC

E174 41.DEF

 

A = what is half of 2+2?

B= 10 Candles stand burning in a dining room.  A breeze blows through a window and extinguishes three of them.  Assuming the breeze doesn’t extinguish any more candles, how many candles do you have left at the end?

C= If there are three apples and you take away two, how many apples do you have?

D= You have three bags each containing two marbles. Bag A contains two blue marbles, Bag B contains two red marbles, Bag C contains one blue marble and one red marble.  You pick a random bag and take out one marble.  It is a blue marble. What is the probability that the remaining marble from the same bag is also blue?

E= Mrs Jones and Mr Jones have seven daughters.  If each daughter has a brother how many children do Mr and Mrs Jones have?

F= You’re driving a bus from Auckland to the North Shore with eight passengers. At the first stop half of them get off and twice that number gets on.  At the next stop 1/3 of them get off and ¾ the remaining passengers get on.  At the last stop before the North Shore five people get on.  How many people are driving the bus when it gets to the North Shore?
