Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Longbranch LogiCache!

UPDATE: 8/24/17

Due to recent logs, I would like to advise any future cachers to please view the sattelite map once you have solved the puzzle to plan your trip to ground zero. Poison Ivy and bugs will probably be in the area!

The posted coordinates are for a parking area near this cache.  Since this area of Onondaga Lake Park is often used for crew and rowing events, the coordinates have been hidden within the following puzzle:


There are 4 rowers who are competing in a race at Onondaga Lake Park.  For each rower, you will need to determine the color of their boat, the lane that they competed in and the length of time that it took for them to finish.

-Alanna finished faster than the rower in the red boat, but slower than the rower in lane 3.

-Jane, who did not row in lane 1, finished immediately after Susan.

-Triana competed in the red boat and finished the race 20 seconds after the boat in lane 1.

-Of the rower of the green boat and Jane, one completed the race in 45 seconds and the other rowed in lane 4.

-The orange boat was not in lane 4.

-The rower in lane 2 took the longest to finish.


Once you have solved the puzzle, please substitute the following into the coordinates:

North: 043 07.1AB West: 076 1C.DEF

Answers

Alanna rowed in lane (E) and finished in (D)5 seconds

Jane rowed in lane (C) and finished in (X)5 seconds

Susan rowed in lane (X) and finished in (B)5 seconds

Triana rowed in lane (F) and finished in (A)5 seconds

Once you're at ground zero, you will be looking for a cache the color of Susan's boat.


There is an inactivated trackable for the FTF. Special thank you to boonechev for taking a look at my original logic puzzle cache in the Utica area.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
