The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!
Part 1: Part 1 will solve for the North coordinates
N 27 X.Y
This part of the puzzle will look very similar to billedm’s all-famous logic puzzles. With his guidance, I was able to create my own versions of those puzzles.
Solve the following puzzle by. Each of the nine letters represents a number 1-9 (NO zeroes). A # replaces letters that are unnecessary in order to solve the puzzle. Each # will not always be replacing the same digit.
A x B = #H
GH x B = #E
F x B = #B
H x C = G#
E x C = D#
B x C = A#
Use the above values to solve for the coordinates.
X = (BDH x H) – CAD
Y = (AAFJ – J) / F
Part 2: Part 2 will solve for the West coordinates
W 080 X.Y
This part of the puzzle may be new to many cachers, but it is called alphabetics.
Each of the 26 clues will have a one-letter answer. Each letter of the alphabet will be used ONCE, no more, no less. U
1.)John __ Kennedy
2.)Pirate
3.)Headquarters of geocaching is called ‘Geocaching H__’
4.)This cache is placed in F__
5.)U__A
6.)Flip it to the right – you’ll get a Z
7.)‘Thanks’ in TFTC
8.)Upside down ‘W’
9.)Best letter grade
10.)Circle
11.)Abbreviation of ‘Okay’
12.)Bug
13.)10th letter of the alphabet
14.)__ marks the spot
15.)Snoring
16.)Washington D.__.
17.)A question
18.)The word geocaching begins and ends with this letter
19.)I love __
20.)Lowest passing grade in school
21.)Upside down teepee
22.)Most common letter in the English alphabet
23.)Upside down ‘M’
24.)Two __s in a pod
25.)Me, Myself, and __
26.)My caching name begins with this letter
Use the above values to solve for the coordinates.
X = [(A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I + J + K) * R] – QQQ
Y = [(L + M + N + O + P + R + S + T + U + V + W + X + Y + Z) * Q] + QQR
Stealth may be required. Cache has room for small items and trackables. Pen included but you may bring your own. Enjoy the cache and Congratulations to FTF!
