Geocache Description:


There is nothing hidden at the posted coordinates, but the cache is located within the Whipple Hill Conservation Area.

This puzzle is modeled after Perplexors logic puzzles, which I was a huge fan of as a kid. All you have to do is use the clues to determine which attributes go with which people. You will not have to use the letters to the left of each set of clues while solving the puzzle, but they will help you turn your answers into coordinates.

To get coordinates: Assign each letter a number based on the answer you got in the column to the letter's right (if I got Traditionals for John, A would be 1, if it was Multis it would be 2, etc.).

Note: If there are two adjacent letters, they should be treated as digits, not coefficients (i.e. AB does not mean A*B)

To get the first half, plug your numbers into the equation A*BE+FDC. Input your answer into N 42°26.XXX

To get the second half, plug your numbers into the equation (GIH+J)*L+K. Input your answer into W 71°10.XXX

If you solved this puzzle before July 8th, 2025, apply an offset of +.004 N, -.010 W.
