Growing up, I used to go geocaching with my dad and even placed a couple of our own. Now that I'm older and in college (gig'em), I've decided to start placing my own and this is the first! This is my second try at placing this cache, I had to replace the puzzle and change the final coordinates after a loophole was discovered in the checker of the last one. This one shouldn't have the same issue.
The cache is NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. You will have to solve this puzzle for the real coordinates of the cache.
Six students went drinking on Northgate after a rough week of final exams. Using the clues below, match each student to their major, and determine how many shots they had and what time they left Northgate.
CLUES:
1. Of the student who had 2 shots and Kylie, one left at 2:00 AM and the other is an accounting major.
2. Tyler is either the student who left at 1:00 AM or had 1 shot.
3. The history major is not Sam.
4. The biology major left sometime before the student who had 1 shot.
5. The student who had 5 shots left sometime before the biology major.
6. The Spanish major and Tyler are different students.
7. The history major did not have exactly 3 shots.
8. The student who had 3 shots is either Sam or Olivia.
9. The student who left at 12:00 AM is either the one who had 1 shot or the nursing major.
10. The history major left an hour before PJ.
11. Nolan left one and a half hours after the student who had 6 shots.
12. The Spanish major is either the one who left at 12:30 AM or at 1:00 AM.
FINAL COORDINATES: N 30° 3A.BCD' W 96° 2E.FGH'
