Geocache Description:


Welcome to the Purdue Boilermakers Geoart Series, presented by 13RPoor. This series is the first geoart series in the Fort Wayne area. 13RPoor is a proud Purdue alumni, and obsessive Purdue sports fan! Coordinates are not at posted location. In this series, you will be required to answer trivia-type questions about Purdue University to find the true coordinates; including university history, traditions, and sports. Most answers can be found with a google search, while some might take a little bit more research to find the answer (don’t worry, 13RPoor is a nice fellow and will help a struggling cacher). Lots of hours were put into making everything for this series, so please do your part to take care of the caches by replacing them as you found them, watching out for muggles, and CITO. PLEASE POST DNF’s TO ALERT ME OF POTENTIAL PROBLEMS!!!! I hope you enjoy the series as much as I enjoyed making the series. Remember, Geocaching may be dangerous! Boiler Up, Hammer Down, Hail Purdue!

The Old Oaken Bucket is a trophy that is claimed by the winner of the Purdue vs Indiana football game. The first football game was played between these 2 state schools on November 14, 1891, in which Purdue beat Indiana 60-0. The trophy did not come about till 1925. The inaugural Old Oaken Bucket Game ended in a 0–0 deadlock on November 21, 1925, resulting in the very first and most visible link, an "I–P" link, being added to the handle of the bucket. "I" and "P" links are continuously added each year for whichever team claims the trophy.


Question: True or False? There are more "I" links on the Old Oaken Bucket than there are "P" Links.

A)True- N40 56.638 W084 58.798
B)False- N40 56.902 W084 58.720
