Geocache Description:


QuintupleCross

 

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

Solve the following puzzle to learn the true cache location.

 

QuintupleCross is an online crossword using the CrossCache utility, authored by computer science professor lesdubois and written specifically for geocaching puzzles.  A trivia puzzle of sorts, the questions are organized into five categories rather than in the typical across and down order of the puzzle grid.  Because of this organization, pressing the Enter key will NOT move through the clues in the order they are listed.  Instead, just click on each clue button and work your way down the list.

 

Most of these can easily be answered with online searching, so the fun is intended to be in seeing how many you can answer from memory.  Feel free to boast of how well you did in your Found log!

 

Don't include any punctuation in your answers and  don't hesitate to work with friends and ask me for help.

 

Begin the crossword by using the link below.

 

When you have correctly answered all the questions, you will be given a solution phrase and a direct link to automatically pass the phrase to the Checker.  Simply click the link and paste (Ctrl-V) the phrase which will then provide the coordinates of the geocache.  You can also click this Checker link to see how many of your friends have beaten you to the solve!
