This summer, five geocachers (two women named ForestElf (A) and MindyCub78 (B) and three men named Smoresmoothies (C), testywolverine (D) and EZWalker (E)) decided to hit a different power trail in a neighboring state. Each went on a different day of the week from Monday through Friday and each found a different number of geocaches on the power trail (36, 44, 72, 79, 88). Unfortunately most of the caches were too small for their travel bugs, so they only dropped one each.
From the information below, can you find the day on which each geocacher found a geocache, how many caches they found on their power trail, and what travel bug they dropped off?
- ForestElf dropped off a White Jeep TB sometime before the one who found 36 geocaches, but sometime after the one who found 72 geocaches.
- Smoresmoothies found twice as many caches as the man who dropped off a Happy Meal Toy TB.
- The five geocachers are the one who dropped off a Lackey Coin, the one who went caching on Wednesday, the woman who found 88 geocaches, EZWalker and the one who dropped off a Wooden Nickel TB.
- A Rubber Ducky TB was dropped off by a man on Friday.
- MindyCub78 found half as many geocaches as the one who went geocaching on Tuesday.
- The Wooden Nickel TB was dropped off sometime before the Lackey Coin.
Organize your solution from Monday to Friday, then add the letters ABCDE to the geocacher's names in your solution as indicated in the description above (A for ForestElf, B for MindyCub32 and so on.) This will give you a new order to the letters. Enter the letters into Certitude in this new order with no spaces to get the final coordinates.
You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
