Who doesn't like puzzles? NOBODY!! I have been lucky enough to create many puzzles over the years, some of which are overly simple (The Easiest Puzzle Ever!-GC44Y4D) and some were unintentionally tough (Math Squares-GC218HG)! So this is a puzzle which incorporates many of the puzzles I have already published plus maybe some new puzzle ideas I haven't had a chance to publish (yet). As you work through each puzzle, make note of each of the solutions as they will be entered into certitude to reveal the final location plus a strong hint. This is a difficulty 5 puzzle! Not everything you will need can be found outside the library and on this cache page though I assure you that there shouldn't be any programming or retasking of satellites to complete this puzzle! This is also not a park and grab! Plan on taking some time. Finally, the library staff knows nothing about how to solve this puzzle but they are aware of the cache. Please don't ask them for hints on solving.
Head to the following coordinates by walking around the outside of the library and answer the following questions. Then head on in to work on the solutions! The answers will be used in some of the puzzles below:
