The cache is not located at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to determine the real location of the cache.
Just a simple puzzle because I'm not getting any sleep nowadays. The data is, of course, variable; so I'll tell you that I used Wikipedia, which isn't itself known for invariance, but the data I used has been stable for twelve months.
- Chinchilla - Otter
- Gorilla - Black Bear
- Porcupine × Leopard ÷ Meadow Mouse
- Dog × Giraffe ÷ Grizzly Bear
- Black Rhinoceros ÷ Puma
- California Sea Lion + Horse + Hamster
Special Notes about the 2018 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, which won't happen until sometime in 2019). The real challenge is to see whether I will have enough time to create a puzzle each month this year! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.
Special Notes about this month's cache: BlooeyBug took all the hiding spots around the hospital, but the kids come here to see their pediatrician.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
