Geocache Description:

What a coincidence - there are seven members of the Bailey family living in Abergavenny that all have the same birthday!! Using the information below work out their ages and then use the answers to find the cache.


Tomas is three times older than his son, Delwyn, who is twice the age of his sister Sian.

Sian is 10 years younger than her other brother Rhys, who is half the age of his mother Alis.

Alis, in turn, is half the age of her own father Gareth and he is 10 years older than his wife Mel, Alis's mother.

So how old are they each if their combined age is 220 years?

A=The second digit of Gareth's age.

B=The two digits in Rhys's age added together.

C=Sian's age.

D=The sum of the four individual digits in Alis's and Delwyn's ages.

E=The second digit of Tomas's age.

F=The first digit of Mel's age minus the second digit.

Replace the letters in the following co-ords for the numerical answers you have found, in the usual manner: N51 49.ABC W003 00.DEF

The cache is a magnetic nano at a slightly historic item. Puzzle rating 2.5, cache rating 2.
