Library Building Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

JoGate3: Due to upcoming reconstruction within the library, collections will be moving around and some areas will not be accessible. Therefore at this time, this cache is being archived. I'm hoping to set up something new after renovation, which will last approximately 16 months. I hope those of you that found this cache enjoyed it. Have fun caching!

Clues will be set up as A, B, C. When solving the puzzle, enter the numbers into the spaces with the corresponding letter.

Clue A:  Find Andre. He's wandered away to sit and think. Coordinates will help you locate him. When you find Andre, figure out how old he is then divide by 5 to get the number to use in place of A. For more information visit: http://www.greenwichartscouncil.org/Outdoor_sculpture.pdf

Clue B: After visiting with Andre, proceed up the stairs toward the Main entrance and look for a number that is etched in stone. From what you find, take the most repeated number and enter it in place of B.

Clue C:  Enter the library to proceed.

"What's black and white and read all over?" Solve this riddle then head toward that room. Before you enter too far you'll find suspended Alexander Calder tapestries. Find the fraction on the tapestry and enter the last number from the denominator in place of C.

Clue D:  You have been working hard. It's time to find the Cafe and take a break. While you are enjoying your snack, find the date the Greenwich Library was expanded and enter the third number from the left in place of D.

Clue E:  You have just realized you really need some artwork to hang in your living room at home. Take the elevator to the second floor. How many bins of lending art does the library have? Once you've figured that out, take the second number and enter it in place of E.


You have now collected all the numbers required to find the final geocache location.

If you have written them correctly, their sum should = 28
