Geocache Description:


Starship Enterprise Geo-Art

Welcome to the ‘Starship Enterprise’ Geo-Art. Each puzzle is different ,themed around SPACE and is ‘hopefully’ designed to help you learn a little about different types of puzzles. Some will obviously be a little harder than others but should be doable with a little patience.

Please remember to return and cover the container as you found it to ensure its’ longevity, and when visiting stay safe and abide by the geocacher’s creed. http://www.geocreed.info/

Some of the rural roads may be rough, narrow, have roaming livestock or be flooded during heavy rain events, so please drive to suit the conditions and the limitations of your vehicle and driver.

I had quite a bit of help creating these puzzles from a variety of 'puzzle makers' out there. You will find a note of thanks and a link to one of their puzzles at the bottom of the page.

The cache is NOT at the published co-ordinates.

Starship Enterprise

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701) is a starship in the fictional Star Trek universe, depicted in four network television series, six feature films, and countless books and fan-created media. The original Star Trek series (1966–1969) features a voice-over by Enterprise captain, James T. Kirk (William Shatner), which describes the mission of Enterprise as "to explore strange new worlds; to seek out new life and new civilizations; to boldly go where no man has gone before". The ship's design "formed the basis for one of sci-fi's most iconic images," though the ship has gone over many changes over the course of its television and cinematic appearances.


The Puzzle.

You will need to solve the below puzzle to work out the location of the cache itself.


Backstory and Goal

Brother Colin organises movie showings for groups of people at a selection of different movie theatres around town. Using only the clues below, match each of the bookings with the date, host, movie session and the location of each event.

Remember, as with all grid-based logic puzzles, no option in any category will ever be used more than once.

Once you have solved the logic puzzle and completed the final answers, you will then need to determine the numbers required to identify the location of the cache.

Clues:

1. The booking at Deep Thought Ultimate Cinema is 1 day before the booking that is going to see Starship Troopers: Invasion.

2. The group that requested Starship Troopers is going with Thomas A. Anderson.

3. Of the John Smith group event, and the booking on October 5, one is at The Exceptional Iris and the other is seeing the Movie Marathon. (District 9, Rogue One and The Fifth Element)

4. The event that requested the Movie Marathon is sometime after the group going to The Iris.

5. The booking at Deep Thought, the group seeing Star Trek: The Undiscovered Country and the event on October 6 are three different events.

6. The Thomas Anderson booking is sometime after the showing of Star Trek.

7. The booking that is seeing Star Trek is sometime after the Annika Hansen session.

8. The group that are seeing Starship Troopers: Invasion is not going to The Alnair Palace.
