Geocache Description:


Bill Nye is awesome!!! So many youngsters (and their parents?) learned real science with this fun show. I taught 7th and 8th grade science for many years, and used a few of the episodes in my classroom. My students sometimes acted like it was beneath them, but they sang along with the intro and watched the whole show intently.  

This is a simple puzzle cache. The cache IS NOT at the posted coordinates. Answer the two questions below to get the correct final coords.  

1. How many episodes of Bill Nye the Science Guy were made?  

85 (554)     100 (735)     150 (037)  

2. Bill Nye got his nickname when he was hosting another show and he corrected his fellow host's pronunciation of the word:  

oogamous (711)     tesselate (932)     gigawatt (151)
