HELP WANTED!!!
My precious scarab Rhian has flown off somewhere! I heard that geocachers are good at looking for things so I hope you can find him for me and make sure he’s ok!
In order to locate Rhian, you will need to learn about him and work out his last seen location on the missing poster.
THE POSTER
Here, this is the poster I made for him. Wait, I think I accidentally put it through jigidi.com and turned it into a puzzle! Oh nooooo! Please solve it, geocacher! https://www.jigidi.com/solve/xjienu3z/rhian-s-missing-poster/
HERE’S SOME FACTS ABOUT RHIAN <3
Rhian is a big music lover! One of his scarab friends gave him a string instrument that he has had most of his life. Funnily, enough, that scarab friend had the same name as the instrument! Unfortunately, his instrument was recently broken when he was practicing, and a couple strings were snapped, though he was ok. I want to replace the strings for him, but I don’t remember how many strings the instrument should have in total!
I like to feed Rhian a variety of foods, including berries, nuts, and his personal favourite - a small spoon of honey. I wonder how many bees it takes to make a half teaspoon of honey?
Rhian’s friend Donna the ladybird once made him a scarf that he wore constantly for months - he absolutely loved it! She made it look like the spotted design of her own elytra. He’s since grown out of it and the dots are hard to see, I wonder how many there are? The word search below might tell you! Find each DOT!
This one should be easy for you- how many legs do beetles have?
Rhian is a rhino beetle, which is how I decided what to name him! I thought that ‘Rhian’ would be a cute alternative spelling of a common name that has Irish origin, while being a pun for his species name. How many more letters does Rhian’s name have in comparison to the original Irish one?
Rhian is pretty big for his kind, but not the largest! The biggest ones can reach up to- a few inches long? I don’t remember the number, perhaps you can look it up for me?
Rhian is very strong, as are other rhino beetles like him. In fact, they can lift an impressive E50 times their body weight! Hang on, why can’t I say the number E? E. E! Ok geocacher, you might have to work this one out too at least now we know what goes in place of E on the poster! Well, I do at least.
THINK YOU HAVE FOUND THE COORDS?
You can check using the geocheck tool below!
When you do find him, please be GENTLE, he will probably be a bit scared/excited to meet new people. Be sure to BYOP and give him your autograph, he would love to show it off to his friends later!
