Geocache Description:


DO NOT GO TO THE POSTED COORDINATES

Although these coordinates won't lead you to the cache, the cache is within 2 miles from the posted coordinates.

Obviously, seeing as my name is Purdue19, I am a huge Purdue University fan. My Papaw (TheKuhnBunch) graduated from there, my Mom graduated from there, and my Dad graduated from Purdue as well. Someday I hope to attend Purdue to study Chemical Engineering. I am also very passionate about sports, so of course I had to make a mystery cache that involved Purdue sports. For those of you that are Purdue fans, I encourage you to try and solve this puzzle from memory before googling it. You will need to substitute the answer you get from the multiple choice questions in order to solve the final coordinates. Good Luck and Boiler Up!
