Geocache Description:


NOTE: the cache is not at the posted coordinates. You must solve the puzzle described below to obtain the coordinates to the cache.

Instead of making a traditional cache, I wanted to make an easy puzzle cache. When I first started Geocaching, puzzle caches were very intimidating - so I've created this one to be a great introduction to puzzle caches. You will need to solve the puzzle for a keyword and enter it in the geochecker for the coordinates. To solve this mystery, you will have to scour the web for the answers. 

My sister is a big Greek Mythology fan, mainly due to her love of Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson and related series. Thus, given the type of cache (hint!), I decided to base the puzzle on Greek Mythology. If you're not familiar, enjoy learning more about Greek Mythology.

1. Number of Olympians

2. Number of tasks Heracles (Hercules) is supposed to do (Hint: not 12)

3. Number of heads the Hydra had before Heracles came along

4. How many Argonauts were there?

5. How long was the Trojan War

6. How many children did Cronus and Rhea have?

When you finish finding the answers, enter the numbers sequentially into the geochecker for the keyword like so: (answer1)(answer2)(answer3)(answer4)(answer5)(answer6). The geochecker will then give you the coordinates.

Checksum (1+3+5)=32

Checksum (2+4+6)=66


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
