Introduction
Five geocachers (Alex, Amber, Hitoshi, Jonas, Rhonda) from five different cities (Aachen, Fez, Perth, San Diego, Suva) love five different board games (Azul, Brass, Monopoly, Scrabble, Ticket to Ride) and five different animals (cobra, elephant, otter, seal, tiger). Each of the five people also has a favourite type of cache (challenge, letterbox, locationless, multi, virtual). Work out who likes what and who lives where.

Enter into Certitude a 50-character string consisting of the first two characters of each answer, reading left to right, top to bottom.
For example, if Alex was 73, their favourite game was Power Grid, and they lived in Kuala Lumpur, the string would start with 73POKU. Notice how Power Grid is represented by PO and *not* the acronym PG, and Kuala Lumpur is represented by KU and *not* the acronym KL.
