Geocache Description:


*THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES*

As the geo-invasion wages, the Allied forces must get more and more crafty to protect caches from the Firebug Regime! Will the caches be kept safe, or will Firebug95 and the army united under his banner claim the FTF? 

Introducing Operation: Gumball; A puzzle cache based on the webkinz.com game of the same name. (It's kind of like Wordle with numbers).The puzzle works as such: I will present to you 5 sets of 3 numbers, and I will tell you if, within that set, there is a number that is correct and in the correct place, a number that is correct but in the wrong spot, or if the letters are entirely incorrect. I will not tell you which of the numbers the notation applies to 

Ready? Begin!

Number      Correct?

207              One correct number in the correct spot. 

930              Two correct numbers in the wrong spots. 

825              One correct number in the wrong spot.

159              One correct number in the right spot and one correct number in the wrong spot.

742              No correct numbers.

 

To find the location of the physical cache, fill in the blanks:

[The number you got from the puzzle] [The first name of the 32nd president of the USA] Street, Boone, Iowa; In the [Which corner of Iowa is Keokuk in?] corner of the wooden structure on the premises. 

If you believe you have the correct location but can't find the cache, feel free to message me.
