Geocache Description:


Do not go to the posted co-ordinates - there is no cache there.

Seven has been a significant number for human beings since ancient times. A combination of cultural, historical, religious, numerical and psychological factors attach to it.

So, to celebrate our seventh "Winter Warmer" event held on Saturday 25 July, 2020, here is a little quiz based on seven, out of which you can derive co-ordinates for the final:

Find S 40 1A.BCD E 175 2W.XYZ

A   The Snow White & the Seven Dwarves movie was based on a Brothers Grimm fairytale published in what year? Give the digital root.

B   In Shakepeare's Seven Ages of Man which number is the age when man is "sighing like furnace, with woeful ballad"?

C   According to the standard list what is the seventh of the seven deadly sins? How many letters are there in that word, minus four?

D   What year did the Seven Years War begin?   Use the last digit.

 

 In Wordsworth's poem We are Seven how many of the girl's siblings are buried in the churchyard?   

X   Starting with Aries, as according to Western Astrology, what  is the seventh astrological sign? Use the middle letter = its numerical place in the alphabet.

Y   The movie The Magnificent Seven, original version starring Yul Brynner, Steve McQueen et al, was released in what year? Give the digital root.

Z   Give me a child until he is seven and I will give you the man  is attributed to which great philosopher? Use the number of letters in his name, minus one.

 

At the Final:    BYOP.         Tweezers may be helpful for log extraction.

    Please tuck cache container back out of sight covered with a little natural camo from its location.
