Geocache Description:


This is a poem, I think kids in the 4th or 5th grade should learn. Not something to find later in life.

Highlighting the importance of perseverance, humility, self-belief, and integrity. Kipling advises the reader to maintain integrity and not let success or failure define one's character. He encourages the reader to trust oneself when others doubt them and to be able to handle both praise and criticism with equanimity.

Michael Caine Recites A great version on youtube

If

by Rudyard Kipling

 

If you can keep your head when all about you   

    Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,   

If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,

    But make allowance for their doubting too;   

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,

    Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,

Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,

    And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:

 

If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;   

    If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;   

If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster

    And treat those two impostors just the same;   

If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken

    Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,

Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,

    And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:

 

If you can make one heap of all your winnings

    And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,

And lose, and start again at your beginnings

    And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

    To serve your turn long after they are gone,   

And so hold on when there is nothing in you

    Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’

 

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,   

    Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,

    If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute

    With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,   

Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,   

    And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

 

The puzzle if, IF=96 then Caesar says _ _ =_ _ _ _             

 Always remember              (letter above equals below, and vice versa)

Enter 2 letters and four numbers into certitude, to get the final.

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
 
 

It is not a muddy Caesar, this means it comes with extra hot sauce (spicy) and extra Worcestershire sauce (dirty). The great thing about a Bloody Caesar is that they're super easy to customize to your taste. Simply add any 'extras' to your glass then pour the Clamato over the top.

 

How can N=A  or A=N or A=1 or N=14 meaning A can equal 14 and N can equal one.  How to solve. Analyze the given equation to understand the relationship between N=A     A=N  

 

Congratulations to Prin3ss on the first to find!
