Geocache Description:

This cache has been placed for the GAG25 event. This cache was placed with the intention of being found for Ottawa's GAG25, which starts Friday October 13th at 6pm, which is when cachers celebrating our 25th event will start the search.....


What on earth does “ciel” have to do with “150” or “birthday?”  How can the CO claim this cache is in any way close to these themes - it sure isn’t clear how it deserves to be classified as truly cleaving to the intent of GAG25?  Are we expected to be clairvoyant in order gain a clue, or is the cache name just some clever way to clothe another example of this CO’s claptrap in the sanctioned cloth of a GAG event?

We’re pretty sure this will prove to be yet another classic “BD” cliché in which we’re expected to clench our teeth, ignore the clock and claw our way through cloudy logic, clutching at straws, until we reach some kind of closure.

Sagelily, the kinder-gentler half of BrianDiane, has managed to use her clandestine powers and clout to claw the following from the evil half:

“First do a “ciel” count and call this A.  Then do a “ciel” foreign numeric conversion and call this B.  Add 10 x A to the posted N decimal minutes and add B to the posted W decimal minutes to locate the cache.”

Huh??
