The TARDIS is lost and must be found. Can you help? Using your knowledge of the Dr. Who timeline (kinda wibley-wobley) and the Doctors themselves calculate the final coordinates of the lost TARDIS.
This is a mystery cache that starts you at a river (a child of the TARDIS and the wife of the Doctor) and sends you along the timestream to your final coordinates. To arrive at the final coordinates you will need to do some simple math using the digital root of significant dates in the Doctor's timeline and the appearance number associated with each actor that has played a Doctor so far. (for example the digital root of 1933 is 1+9+3+3 = 16 = 7 and the appearance number for Colin Baker is the 6th doctor).
The coordinates of the TARDIS resting place is N 45°AB.CDE W 076°FG.HIJ
Solve questions A to J to find the missing coordinates.
A: (The digital root of the year the creator of the Daleks, Davros, first appeared) - (the sequence number of Jon Pertwee)
B: (The sequence number of Jodie Whittaker) - (The digital sum of the year the first colour episode of Doctor Who appeared).
C: (The sequence number of Peter Davison) - (The digital sum of the year we first meet the terrifying cyborgs, the Cybermen).
D: (The sequence number of David Tennant) - (The digital root of the year we were first introduced to The Doctor's arch enemy, The Master).
E: (The digital root of the year we witnessed the very first episode of Doctor Who) + (The sequence number of Colin Baker).
F: (The sequence number of Sylvester McCoy) - (The Sequence number of Tom Baker) - (The sequence number of Willian Hartnell) - (The digital root of the year we were first introduced to the cruel and heartless creations of Davros, the Daleks).
G: (The sequence number of Peter Capaldi) + (The sequence number of Patrick Troughton) - (The digital root of the year we saw the first episode the brought the doctor into the new millennium with a new doctor and a new companion, Rose).
H: (The sequence number of Paul McGann) - (The digital root of the year we see the Doctor use his unique power or regeneration for the first time).
I: (The sequence number of Christopher Eccleston) - (The digital root of the year we first saw the appearance of the quantum locked villains, the Weeping Angels).
J: (The sequence number of Matt Smith) - (The digital root of the year of the first full episode of the first female Doctor).
Once you have your coordinates and find the TARDIS look around and explore. It's a beautiful area with some good trails.
Good luck and happy travels. Take to heart some quotes from the Doctor.
“A straight line may be the shortest distance between two points, but it is by no means the most interesting.” – The Third Doctor, The Time Warrior (1973)
“This is one corner… of one country, in one continent, on one planet that’s a corner of a galaxy that’s a corner of a universe that is forever growing and shrinking and creating and destroying and never remaining the same for a single millisecond. And there is so much, so much to see.”
— The Third Doctor, Inferno (1970)
