How many years will you live through that are perfect squares? Even veteran cachers weren't around for the last year that was a perfect square, 1936. And some newborn cachers, with a little luck, will get to see the next perfect square year, 2116--I'm looking at you, little Et_Tu. But for the rest of us, 2025 is our only bite at the perfect square apple. There doesn't seem to be a lot of fuss being made about this, so I'm putting out the 45^2 series.

45 * 45 = 2025, so that makes 2025 a perfect square. In a recent conversation with some geocachers, I lamented that we needed some perfect square caches. I'll probably host multiple events about this, but I have hidden some physical containers too. One cacher groaned about the inevitable puzzles that would accompany these hides. Ever conciliatory, I proposed that one puzzle be about a favorite topic of hers, the Green Bay Packers. So, put together '45 with Green Bay Packers, and you'll know how to start this puzzle. The cache is located at N AB° CD.EFG′ W HIJ° KL.MNO′.

A. Coach's nickname.
B. When they beat the Boston Yanks, they scored this many points (drop the first digit).
C. They were swept in two games against the team from this city.

FGH. The total points scored, by both teams combined, in their ten games.
I. Attendance at their games was most commonly between I0,000 and I9,999.
JK. The frequent point total that their opponents scored in four different games.
L. Number of games they lost.
M. City that is home to "City Stadium," where the Packers played multiple games.
N. First name of the team's brightest star, commonly considered to have been the first modern wide receiver.
