Geocache Description:


As a former employee of KFC, I have decided to take everyone to learn about this brand

The cache is not hidden on the posted coordinates! Instead the user needs to solve a puzzle at home to find the actual cache location. On the posted coordinates you can only find a restaurant which is "KFC".

For this cache you need to calculate the word value of some English words. Word value means that you convert the letter into its numerical position of the alphabet (A=1, B=2, C=3, D=4, E=5, F=6, G=7, H=8, I=9, J=10, etc.). This means the word value of the word "dad" = 4 + 1 + 4 = 9. Or WV (word value) of "hi" = 8 + 9 = 17.

Now answer the following questions:

1) Do you know the full name of KFC? When was the first KFC franchise opened? And where?

    The year of the opening time will be "A"

2) Later, KFC continued to expand overseas and became the first Western restaurant chain to open in China. 

    So when is the opening time in China?  The year of the opening time will be "B"

3) About the Original Recipe. How many herbs and spices are included in the original recipe? 

    The number will be "C" 

4) In 1950 The Governor Lawrence Wetherby recommissioned Kentucky as ________ ???

    The answer of the blank will be "D" (The word value)
