The Great Trackable Search Traditional Cache

METHOD 1
(Search for a Trackable key)

There are 4 keys that can open the lock. All 4 keys are labeled with geocaching Travel Bug tags, and all 4 keys are located in different caches in northern Taiwan. Here is a list of them:

• Key TB7FZD0
• Key TB7FZDR
• Key TB7FZDV
• Key TB7FZDX

You can click on the links above to see each key's trackable page. Look for Recently Spotted; this will tell you: 1) The cache where the key is currently located, or 2) The geocaching player who is currently holding the key. 

Your job is to grab a key, log online that you have picked up the key, then take the key back to this cache to open the lock.

Please put the key back in a geocache within one month. It doesn't have to be the same cache where you found the key, but it must be placed in a cache located in Miaoli 苗栗, Yilan 宜蘭, Hsinchu 新竹, Taoyuan 桃園, Taipei 台北, New Taipei 新北, or Keelung 基隆, TAIWAN. 

If you cannot drop the key in a suitable cache within one month, please contact me, steve4nlanguage, the cache owner. 

METHOD 2
(Search for answers to questions)

The coordinates to find a key that will unlock this cache are:

N25° 03.XXX E121° 20.YYY

XXX = (A + B + C + D + E) - 1,727

YYY = (F - H - I - J) + 661

The letters represent numbers which can be found by answering the 5 questions below:

1) Father of the Geocoin

Geocaching Trackables are known by two types, Travel Bugs and Geocoins. Travel Bugs are tags that are attached to any item you wish. Geocoins are minted coins. Both Travel Bugs and Geocoins have unique numbers printed on them to make them “trackable.”

Example of Trackables (TBs)

Jon Stanley created and placed the very first Geocoin in 2001, and therefore is known as the “Father of the Geocoin.” What is Jon Stanley’s Geocaching profile name? His profile name includes a 2-digit number.

A = The 2-digit number in Jon Stanley’s Geocaching name.

2) John Grisham ‘Hunt for the Gold’

To promote a new John Grisham novel, 5,000 custom gold ingot Geocoins were released into the geo world to pick up and discover. This promotion happened in which year? This year is a 4-digit number.

B = The 4-digit number YEAR of the John Grisham Geocoin promotion.

3) The Trackable That Has Traveled The Most

On November 7, 2013 (Kazakhstan time), a Travel Bug accompanied astronaut Rick Mastracchio into space towards his destination: The International Space Station.

Astronaut Rick Mastraccio with Travel Bug

This Trackable has traveled hundreds of millions of kilometers in space. This Trackable returned to Earth on May 13, 2014, where is continues to travel to this day.

Each Trackable has an ID Code that starts with TB and is followed by letters and/or numbers. This ID Code is found on the Trackable’s web page at Geocaching.com.

You must find the ID Code for the Travel Bug that traveled into space with astronaut Rick Mastracchio. Look for the numbers in the ID Code, then add those numbers together. The total will equal C.

For example, if the trackable's ID is TB12XY5GJ, then add the numbers together: 1+2+5=8 total.

C = The total of the numbers in the ID Code of the Trackable that traveled with Rick Mastracchio aboard the International Space Station.

4) My First Trackable

Go to my Geocaching profile and click the Trackables tab. There you will see a list of my own trackables under the column Trackables Owned. Click on the picture icons to see the trackables’ details. There you can see the date when the Trackable began play, where it says Released.

You must find the date that I released my first trackables: D = Day, E = Month, F = Year.

D and E will be 1- or 2- digit numbers, and F will be a 4-digit number.

Release date of my first Trackables:
D=Day, E=Month, F=Year

5) My Farthest Traveling Trackable

One of my own Trackables has traveled much farther than the others. It hasn’t gone into space (yet!), but it has traveled more than 350,000 kilometers! 649,000 km (as of September 2018).

You can find how far a Trackable has traveled by looking at its online page.

You must determine which of my Trackables has traveled the farthest. Hint: It's a kind of transportation. Then, determine the date when this Trackable was released: H = Day, I = Month, J = Year.

H and I will be 1- or 2- digit numbers, and J will be a 4-digit number.

Release date of my Trackable that has traveled the most kilometers:
H=Day, I=Month, J=Year
