Geocache Description:


Please let New Marker Mallers, Eric be the FTF.  
This is my 3rd Buster Keaton cache. NMM was the 1st to solve and search on both of the previous Buster caches, however, he did not get the FTF.  I wanted to give NMM a chance to get that FTF, and besides, it gives me another chance to share another movie by this genius.  Buster Keaton's 1921 film "Hard Luck" was a consideration, but, "One Week" was Buster's 1st short film by his own company, Buster Keaton studios, and has been a long time audience favorite.  It was also the 1st of Keaton's movies that I watched.  

Cahe is not at the posted listed coordinates.  
To find the coordinates for this cache, you must first find and watch Buster Keaton's movie, "One Week". This movie is easy to find, as it is now within the Public Dormain. All movies more than 95 years old are placed in the Public Domain. . It is readily available on many video platforms, including YouTube. The short movie is only about 20 minutes long.

To find the coordinates, N40 4A.BCD. W73 2E.FGH  

 

A. To get the 1st number, A, find the license plate numbers of the wedding car.  XXX XXA.  Last number.  

B  Buster used a total of only 11 black speaker cards for this movie.  Which number is the speaker card that said "Here's your house"

C   The wedding car had a sign on the front of the car, and a sign on the back   How many words were on the sign at the back of the car?

D  After Buster installed the piano into the house, the wife put a sheet of music on the piano. "XXXXDX"  D is the number of letters in the 5th word.  

E  A policeman is directing traffic.  To the right of the policeman is a For Sale sign, right by a bunch of cars. You can't see the entire sign, as it is partially blocked, but you can see 5 numbers, on the 2cd row.  XX-XEX  4th number.  

F There were 2 wooden box crates with a number on them that was changed by someone, as shown in the movie.  The box on the left, had a number Y, and it was changed to number Z.  Add Y+Z  

G   During the movie, they show a rip off day by day calendar.  Add the 2 numbers of Fridays date.  

H. After the speaker card that reads, "I guess it's not used to the climate", a man with a hat approaches the newlyweds, with a card with 2 numbers on it, XX.   Those numbers were changed to YY.  The answer to H is HY.  

 

A solution checker is provided.
