The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. It is at N 38° 3A.BCD W 121° 3E.FGH. Use logic to solve the many degrees of Seven Bacon.
A trivia game asked one question each on seven famous Bacons throughout history: Francis (the artist), Francis (the philosopher), Kevin, Lucy, Peggy, Reginald, and Roger. Each of these Bacons had a favorite color and a favorite food. Fans of all things Bacon voted on their favorite Bacon (Roger got 55 votes), but it is suspected that the voting was hijacked since the vote totals were decidedly nonrandom: 34, 41, 48, 55, 62, 69, and 76. Once you have put together "all the strips of Bacon," you will have matched each Bacon to a vote total, an order in the trivia game, a favorite color, and a favorite food. Good luck and have fun--a geocache awaits!
1. Kevin's favorite color was either indigo or red.
2. Grapes were the favorite food of the Bacon who received 76 votes.
3. Francis the artist received 14 fewer votes than the one who was asked about sixth in the trivia game.
4. In the trivia game, Lucy was asked about before the one whose favorite food was eggplant.
5. The one who was asked about fourth had a favorite food other than apples.
6. Reginald, the one whose favorite color was indigo, the one who was asked about first, the one who received 48 votes, and the one whose favorite food was eggplant were all different Bacons.
7. Roger received 55 votes for Favorite Bacon.
8. The one whose favorite color was orange received 62 votes.
9. Yellow was the favorite color of the person who was asked about fourth.
10. Peggy was either the one who was asked about third or the Bacon whose favorite food was grapes.
11. Green was the favorite color of Francis the artist.
12. The one whose favorite color was red was the subject of a question that was asked two questions before Reginald's question.
13. Of the one whose favorite food was fava beans and the one who was asked about fifth, one received 69 votes and the other was Peggy.
14. The trivia question about the Bacon whose favorite color was orange immediately followed the question about Lucy (in other words, Lucy's came right before).
15. The trivia question about the one whose favorite color was red came sometime after the question about the one who received 34 votes.
16. Of the one whose favorite food was eggplant and the one whose favorite color was yellow, one received 69 votes and the other was Francis the philosopher.
17. Lucy received 7 more votes for Favorite Bacon than the Bacon who was asked about second in the trivia game.
18. Of Kevin and Roger, one's favorite food was bananas and the other was asked about third in Bacon trivia.
19. The one whose favorite food was donuts was asked about four questions earlier than the one whose favorite color was violet.
20. The one who was asked about fourth received 21 more votes than the one whose favorite food was carrots.
