Needful Things gets a second chance to show everyone this amazing secret view after the previous I <3 Geocaching Love Lock nearby went missing and the multicache GCA039Z was archived. That trackable number is now assigned to a new less luscious lock in this new location. To "discover" the trackable, use the 6-digit identifier starting with "LL."
To complete this multi-cache, find the new lock at the posted coordinates. Get the answers to the questions below from the location and from the lock itself. (You may need to refer to your phone's compass app, and to satellite map views.)
N 47° 34.ABC W 122° 22.DEF
A = Is the Smith Tower visible from the posted coordinates? If yes, 8. If no, 9.
B = Is the Smith Cove cruise ship terminal visible from the posted coordinates? If yes, 0. If no, 1.
C = Does the number on the bottom of the lock suggest Douglas Adams (2) or Ian Fleming (3)?
D = What is the elevation at the posted coordinates? If below 320 feet, use 7. If above 320 feet, use 8.
E = What is the number value of the middle letter stamped into the top of the padlock?
F = What is the number value of the third letter stamped into the top of the padlock?
Checksum for A-F is 34.
