So recently I was talked to The Bird House about the grids on GC.com and he mentioned the "Placed Date" grid. Now if you aren't familiar with this one, let me fill you in... (get it, its a pun)
The "Placed Date" grid is a 366 square grid where each square is a day of the year. To fill in this grid you will need to find caches based on their "PLACED DATE". Well back to the story, so The Bird House mentioned that November 18th was the only day he had left in his placed date grid and then proceeded to ask me to hide a cache on that day so I could help him out. To which I said, "No Problem." What I didn't mention is that I was going to make it a puzzle cache. I mean come on, I cant make it that easy for him.
In order to find the cache you will need to solved the following puzzle. Oh and like you couldn't guess what kind it was going to be cause if you know The Bird House this is a no brainer.
To find the cache solve the following puzzle.
N 41° 2A.BCD
W 081° 5P.QRS
North Coords
A = The studio album The Book Of Souls, what track is "Speed Of Light". Take that number and add 5.
B = In what year was the release of the studio album "The X Factor" - 199B
C = Fear of the Dark was the bands C studio album released.
D = What year was the studio album No Prayer for the Dying released - 199D
West Coords
P = Who is credited with forming the band Iron Maiden. Use the numerical value of the second letter in his last name.
Q = What year was Janick Gers born 195Q. Now add 2 to that number.
R = Nicko McBrain plays what instrument for the band. Take the numerical value of the first letter of the instrument.
S = In what year was the band Iron Maiden formed 197S
Good luck and enjoy. I was going to make the puzzle about The Birds House's Second favorite band ABBA but that will be for a later date!
