Geocache Description:


Congrats to Ovaron for being the FTF

 

This story is  one of the most familiar tales in all of literature. Many people acknowledge this title as a part of our common language, meaning someone who has a split personality, where one is good and the other is evil. 

 

The container is not at the posted location. You must answer two simple questions based on Jekyll and Hyde to obtain the final coordinates.

 

(1).  Dr. Jekyll sounds intentionally cacophonous, meaning harsh. I obviously felt he was the bad guy and that the soft sound of Edward Hyde described his character as good and pleasant. Stevenson intended to have the name pronounced as "I-kill", since Je in french is pronounced this way. If Dr. Jekyll is the good guy, your North coordinates are N40 58.506 . If he is the bad personality, the coordinates are N40 58.605

 

(2)Further confusion occured for me while watching a Looney Tunes episode of Bugs Bunny called "Hyde and Hare". Dr. Jekyll brings the rabbit home as a pet, but Bugs drinks a potion and turns into a much bigger and monstrous looking rabbit. In Stevenson's book "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", if the evil one is  smaller your West coordinates are W073 54.488. If he is bigger, your West coordinates are W073 54.884?
