Geocache Description:


The geocache is NOT at the posted coordinates.

Betty White was an amazing actress, comedian, and author. She got her start in radio at the age of eight, then TV, eventually movies, commercials and even wrote several books. This puzzle is for the uber Betty White fans. Answer six questions to determine the final coordinates for the cache.

In Betty White's first TV appearance she performed "The Merry Widow.” What color (one word) were her lips in the studio, not as seen on TV? Convert the color into numbers (A=1, B=2 etc.). Call that string of numbers ABCDEFGHI

In what year did Betty White receive her first payment for appearing on TV? Let the four digit year equal JKLM

The year in which the American Federation of Radio Artists recognized that TV was here to stay, they became American Federation of Television and Radio Artists and unionized Television actors. With this Betty White's weekly salary increased to NQR

How many TV and radio programs combined had the name "The Betty White Show"? Let that number equal S

On two occasions, TV game shows were pitched with Betty White as the MC. The first show was picked up but without Betty White because the network feared the audience would never accept a woman as MC. Later another game show was pitched and ended up being picked up and airing in what year? Let the year equal WXYZ

FINAL COORDINATES ARE:
N 41° 5[Q-R].[S+F] [N] [Z]
W 87° 5[Y-B].[E] [M-S+A] [M]
