Geocache Description:


ESTO PERPETUA 6 - 2nd BONUS CACHE - BRONZE

Looks like Tribune Marcus Caelius could use your help again...

This cache is not at the published co-ordinates and there is no reason to go there. This is the second bonus cache for the Esto Perpetua series and can only be found by picking up coordinate clues at the caches 1,2, and 4 in this series as Tribune Marcus pieces together the clues so far in his investigations of Caledonian spies at the Fortlet:

Esto Perpetua 1 - Tribune's Journal - GC8XEA5

Esto Perpetua 2 - Sacrifice - GC8XE8Q

Esto Perpetua 4 - The Last Fortress - GC8XE9V

The cache is not in the Kinneil Estate and you will probably want to take a car or bike there, the cache is within 2 miles of the published coordinates though.

The answers to the 3 puzzles in the above caches should give you a 7 number sequence. Use that info to fill in the grid below. This cache has the 'field puzzle' attribute, however the puzzle itself is in Esto Perpetua 4 (see above) and relates to a puzzle that needs to be solved there to get an element of the coordinates to find this cache (the number for 'G' below).

Second Bonus Cache - Puzzle Answers
  Cache 1 Cache 2 Cache 4
Letter A B C D E F G
Number Sequence              
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

When you enter the 7 digit number into the checker (made up of your answers from caches 1,2 and 4 in this series), you will get a result - successful or unsuccessful. If unsuccessful however, you won't be able to tell which part of your answer is wrong. The checker just tells you that the overall answer is wrong. That's the tricky bit. smiley It's intended to hinder use of 'brute force' methods of solving the puzzle. When you have the successful answer the checker will give you the information you need to find the 2nd Bonus cache. Good luck!
