Cookie Monster Loves THE SIX...and Cookies!
This is Cookie Monster's favourite place in Toronto, also known as THE SIX. The singer Drake made this term popular as a nickname for Toronto. He derived the term from Toronto's area code 416 and he went for the tail end on it with just SIX. He went on to also state that at one point Toronto was comprised of 6 boroughs (Toronto, York, East York, North York, Scarborough and Etobicoke), making this also relevant to THE SIX. There were also 6 geocachers present when this geocache was placed.
Answer the 20 questions below to figure out where in THE SIX Cookie Monster's favourite place is. The cache is 3km from the posted coordinates.
If the answer to the question is an ODD number then enter the value in the NORTH column. If the answer to the question is an EVEN number then enter the value in the WEST column.
Once you have the correct answers for each of the 20 questions, total each of the North and West columns and then divide each answer by 1000 and add those answers to the minutes portion of the following meaningless coordinates N43 38.219 W79 10.036 to find the location of the cache.
