Geocache Description:


This is the long(est) awaited follow up to my two incredibly difficult 1.5 star puzzle caches, These Hard Times and These Harder Times.
Its still not a cat in a tree.  I still crack up at that. Miss you Bill  

 

Cache is NOT at posted coordinates. Cache is only big enough for a log. Please BYOP. Cache is located off a street.

You will need to solve for A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, AND J (hence the increased difficulty). Plug your numbers into N42 AB.CDE W088 FG.HIJ

If you get a two digit number, you've done something wrong, start over from the beginning. You will need to solve all of the following in order to make the find. Again, a reminder, please don't spoil the puzzle by posting in your log the meticulous work you or your team did to solve this incredibly challenging puzzle. If you can figure this one out and maybe try to go find the first one again, These Hard Times.   Be careful of Mr Greenthumb's dreaded letter H in there, its a doozy.  Unfortunately the urban sprawl destroyed GC3KMTQ These Harder Times but if you solve it, go ahead and log it? What do I care. I can't believe its been 10 years since I did one of these... right before the first road rally. Seems only right to do another.


If you would like to verify the coordinates prior to heading out on what may just be a wild goose chase, use the geochecker. But beware, if you are wrong, it will show that you were wrong and then everyone would know that you were wrong... and well that would just be funny. Hints will only be provided if you log a DNF. I will be happy to provide you some advice then.

A = Silyngufy was mad for 35 minutes seven years ago.  How many minutes is that spread out per year?  (I hope she's still not mad at me)

B = Kalkranz orders a 16 oz beer and allows chevyole to take a sip.  After kalkranz measures how much is left and 9 ounces remain.  How many ounces did chevyole supposedly, allegedly drink?

C = How many caching personalities does 3POLAR have?  Bonus points if you can name them

D = If you ordered a Big Mac (two All Beef Patties, Special Sauce, Lettuce, Cheese, Pickles, Onions on a Sesame Seed Bun) and 10 nuggets, how many Big Macs would you have?

E = The number of Die Hard Movies

F = The number of new finds furryhermit would have if he logs that FTF.  (that's a big if)

G = If you took the Uncle out of Uncle Fun, who many letters would be left? 

H = The number of Jasmer challenges lacknothing has completed now that she's completed her triple Jasmer

I = If lobsters had 9494 lobsters and ate 9 of them, how many would he have eaten?

J = Bfredericks88 and her three dogs walk in to a bar.   

The bartender shouts - . “Hey you can’t bring dogs in here!” 

Bfredericks responds - “These are talking dogs,“

The bartender relents - “Well prove it and they can stay.”

Bfredericks asks dog one, Charlie,  “What’s on top of the building?”   Charlie responds, “Roof!’    To Elvis (dog two), Bfredericks asks "What’s on the outside of a tree?"   Elvis responds, “Bark!”

Referring to her third dog, Ruby, bfredericks brags, “This dog is the smartest of them all!   Who was the greatest baseball player?”  Ruby responds, “Ruth!”

“Okay that’s it! Get out of my bar!” shouts the bartender.

Walking outside the third dogs says, “Maybe I should have said DiMaggio?” 

Anyway - I'm like a dog that sees a squirrel.  - how many dogs does bfredericks88 have?

Good luck
