My stupid twin brother has been trying to get into college for years. He's not very bright, but he is orderly. In fact, he works as an orderly. Recently he tried again to get into college and took a college entrance exam, which he pronounces "collage entrench exam." He showed me the questions in the definition/vocabulary and math sections and I helped him fill out some of the answers. He wasn't accepted, but as he went back over some of the answers, I realized that from the questions and answers I could make a geocaching puzzle that he could solve. See if you can solve it.
Answer the following questions correctly, then use the information you have to obtain the coordinates. I have provided a link to an answer checker here: Exam Checker. The checker only works on three specific groups of five answers, questions 1 through 5, 6 through 10, and 11 through 15. To check your answers type in the five answers run together without spaces and click the "Check" button. Upper/lower case doesn't matter. If you have the five answers right you will get a message in the box telling you so, otherwise it will respond with INCORRECT. Remember, the checker does not work on individual answers, nor on other groups of answers. You don't need a checker for question 16. Just do the math. Now here are the questions:
1. The first six letters of the alphabet
2. Fox's or bear's home
3. A hot December drink: ___ cider
4. Molasses distilled into liquor
5. Shriek from woman seeing a mouse
6. Incisor, for one
7. Concentrated solution of KOH or NaOH
8. Grinder
9. Red Shoveler
10. Basso profundo's voice
11. Divides into two equal parts
12. Poke
13. Somerset city
14. Jagged rock or coral ridge near the sea surface
15. Hounded; followed the signs of
16. Divide 1106952 by 7
The final coordinates are in the form N37 20.ABC W122 04.DEF. If you solve the puzzle correctly , you will have a six-digit number in the form ABCDEF. Use these to replace the missing digits in the coordinates.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
