Geocache Description:


 

Log Only BYOP - 2 stage multi

 

Through all of my Academic Games Judging students always look for tricks they can memorize to get an edge on thier opponents. The ones that raise the most questions are the words used in the game Lingushtik that have the letter Q with no U. So I thought I'd create a short and hopefully simple multi cache and give you a little spelling lesson at the same time.

Words listed below have no relation to the final set of coordinates.
You must go to stage 1 to get the info you need
(see below for what to do to locate the final).


But here's a little list to give you some ideas...

2-Letter Words         qi        

3-Letter Words         qat                 

4-Letter Words         cinq     qadi    qaid    qoph

5-Letter Words         faqir    niqab qajaq  qanat  qapik  qibla    tranq

6-Letter Words         qigong   qindar   qintar   qwerty   sheqel

7-Letter Words         kamotiq          qabalah          qawwali

8-Letter Words         mbaqanga     qindarka         sheqalim

9-Letter Words         mbaqangas (actually just plural of mbaqanga)

At stage 1 you will find 3 letters and 4 numbers (something like this)
@@@
####
First determine the value of each letter using A=1, B=2..., and the numbers keep their value.
Multiply or divide first then add or subtract

The final can be found at N36 02.?%% W 097 10.#&[
? = 2nd number -3rd number - 1st number
% = 2nd letter - (2x 2nd number) + (2x 1st number)
# = 2nd letter /(3rd letter + 3rd number) + 1st number
& = # - 3rd letter
[ = 4th number - 1st number + 3rd letter
