Geocache Description:


When we think about kings, the word “royalty” usually comes to mind; however, the term, “king”, may refer to many other things.  Examples of this include crabs, salmon, furniture such as beds and bedding, clothing, the length of cigarettes, counties, streets, games such as Checkers, etc.

 

A few days ago, I participated in a “multiple choice” Adventure Lab which gave me the idea to create this puzzle.  THE GEOCACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE LISTED COORDINATES.  YOU MUST FIRST COMPLETE THE PUZZLE (below).

 

 

 

Directions:

This geocache puzzle is a twist on multiple choice answers.  First, choose the numeral beside the answer that BEST represents the listed title.  Next, assign that numeral to the formula (below) to reveal the puzzles’ final coordinates.  Last, to claim this puzzle as a “Found It”, you MUST physically sign the geocache log at the final coordinates.  Failure to sign the log BEFORE claiming the find will result in deletion.

READY?
