A pint amongst friends Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Southerntrekker: Hi There

As the owner has not responded to either my log or my colleague's previous log requesting that they check this cache I am archiving it.

Please note that once the cache has been archived, this can not be undone. This is explained in the Help Center - http://support.groundspeak.com//index.php?pg=kb.page&id=70

You will need to create a new listing, put it back in for review and as long as it meets today's guidelines and no other caches have been published in the area causing a proximity problem, then it will be published.

Regards

Geocache Description:


A typical ‘A pint amongst friends’ event was in full flow. Alan666notb was in the middle of reciting his latest FTF victory when all of a sudden geodude1963 shot up out of her chair.

“I have a puzzle!!” she cried
“Oooo I love puzzles” said Mang and quickly pulled out her notebook
“Is it up a tree?” Roseysaurus said
“No, not up a tree” geodude replied
"not doing it then" Roseysaurus muttered
"miserable cow" Ralfax said under his breath
"what you say!" Roseysaurus snapped
"nothing, nothing" Ralfax said, smiling sipping his drink
“Is train related?” said terrapintim excitedly
“No no, not train related” geodude replied
"oooooo is it a Wherigo?" said hedgepiglet
"no" came the reply.
“Is it….. But before WhiteFriar could finish geodude cut him off, “shut up and let me tell you!!” she screamed.

A hushed silence ensued while geodude pulled out her notebook, “I heard that's the notebook she plans her puzzles in” Billy Whizz whispered to woolleybear, woolleybear, nodded and stared at the notebook in amazement.

geodude cleared her throat and began. “Geocachers” she said. “I want all of you to pick a number between 0 and 9 and write it on this piece of paper” She tore a page out of the notebook and passed it around.

At this task all geocachers stared into space and looked like they were trying to work out a really difficult maths problem, geodude rolled her eyes “any number!! hurry up” she shouted.

“A page from the sacred puzzle notebook” Rik from The Biggin Hill Flyers whispered to herself, a look of wonder in her eyes, as Debs54 handed her the paper.

After some time the paper worked it’s way round to RamsPadge, who by this point was starting to get irate, "you do realise Derby are playing tonight don't you? I have to leave soon!" He said grabbing the paper off HuntingHolly. He wrote down a number which he'd got used to supporting Derby County, 0 ((Note I have no idea if this is true representation of Derby County, I don't really follow football very much, but it seemed funny!!, anyway back to the story!))

Eventually the paper worked it's way back to geodude, on it was written the following:

WhiteFriar 2
terrapintim 3
Mang 1
woolleybear 9
Billy Whizz 0
Debs54 0
The Biggin Hill Flyers 5
Sludge bucket 2
Roseysaurus 0
Globetrotter171 6
RalFax 8
alan666notb 5
hedgepiglet 0
HuntingHolly 6
RamsPadge 0


“Ok” she said, "now I want you to get in order of when you first started caching (according to the joining date on geocaching.com)”

Everyone quickly jumped up and started asking each other when they started caching, some frantic logging on to geocaching.com started. "I HAVE NO SIGNAL!!" GlobeTrotter171 cried, before you could say TNLN a phone appeared in front of her "here use mine" said Debs54.

Looking a lot like a police line up, they eventually all lined up.

"Now what??" said Sludge bucket.

"Think about it" replied geodude, and headed to the bar to get the round in.

All of a sudden a frantic MuzzaDazzler flew in "sorry I'm late" he said, "just got back from Norway, anyone for a drink?"

“Good timing!” geodude replied, and sat back down smiling, "mines a pint!"

The cache isn't at the given co-ordinates, they are for the pub. Solve the puzzle to get the co-ordinates for the cache, which is a 5-10min walk away.
