Geocache Description:


u gotsta getya some cache!

 

This is a puzzle cache.  It is not at the listed coordinates.  To obtain the cache coordinates, please solve the following puzzle.

 

This cache is part of The Atoz Sequence series.  Click here for more information.

 

It is not unusual for me to spend hours trying to come up with the perfect name for a new geocache.  I find it quite an honor that a couple of cachers have mentioned that they can spot a new Seawind cache just by seeing the title.  Some theoretical examples of non-existent or yet-to-be-born caches are: 

 

    Saga of the Tower

    Dalmatian Sensation

    The Cache at Twilight Infinity

    Symphony on Olympus

    Quantum Quandary

 

Speaking of quandaries, what name should I give this new puzzle cache?  After much reflection, I had an idea:  A name that would be so far afield from my usual choices that no one would ever remotely imagine it could be a Seawind cache!  But, how to come up with the perfect as-far-away-as-you-can-get name? 

 

I decided to write a computer program that would generate a name for me.  First, I built a database of the names of all my existing caches, then for good measure, added 250 more that would be likely choices, such as the five included above as well as others, such as the perfectly-named Infinity Gauntlet.  That would provide the program with a very good predictive analysis basis on which to determine likely names.  Just to test the program, I ran it in reverse - in other words, generated a name that would be a LIKELY himilecyclist cache.  The result:  Northern Horizons.  Sounded pretty good!

 

Next, I had to construct algorithms to generate the LEAST LIKELY name that I would ever choose.  This is where the going got very tough.  After seven months of ongoing work, I ended up with a series of routines, 27 in all, which generated possible names and then refined the results further and further with each step.  For example, one routine analyzed fricative patterns of an all-encompassing database of every word in the English language, passing the selections to another routine which executed a diphthong stress-emphasis algorithm, sending the results to a syllabicity deconstruction matrix, then on to a predictive reliability quality assurance procedure and phonic syllabication synthesizer (deemphasizing redundancy in didactic parallels), three separate structural analyses to systematically remove irrational phoneme manifestations and, ultimately, to an absolute cognitive aggregation module with 98.7% reliability regarding ML17 authentication and centralized dictive interautonomous cyclic redundancy verification.

 

After seven months of work, I was ready to run the program.  As predicted, the execution time required was just over three days.  And then the utterly fantastic result was displayed:

 

u gotsta getya some cache!

 

I was thrilled.  Never in a million years could I have come up with such a perfect name.  No one will EVER suspect!

 

And so, a title for this new cache.  But, now for a puzzle to go along with it.

 

I decided to return my name generation program to its default state and generate a "typical" Seawind cache name for you to figure out:
