Fair warning for cachers with
flair
There's one thing which you should beware
When logging your find
Do it in rhyme
Start thinking now to prepare
At the listed location you will be standing in front of a door.
You do not need to enter the building to find the
cache, but it's fun to look inside at the wonderful
mosaic/map on the floor (only open Monday-Friday, 8:30 AM and 5:00
PM...or look through the window).
There are several large words carved in stone over the door. The
final cache is at N42 22.xxx and W71 08.yyy, where:
To get xxx:
- Pick a number between 1-9 (inclusive)
- Multiply your number by the number of letters in the first word
in the phrase over the door
- Using the result from step #2, add the tens digit and the ones
digit to get a new number (i.e., If your answer from step 2 was 38
then your answer would be 3 + 8 giving you 11)
- Divide your answer from #3 by the total number of words over
the door
- Multiply the result by 281
To get yyy:
- Add the number of letters in the last two words (spaces don’t
count)
- Subtract the total number of words over the door
- Multiple the result by 106
The parking entrance is at N42 23.021, W71 08.580. Technically,
you can't park there unless you have a Cambridge parking sticker,
but it's probably ok for a short time. After seeing the words over
the door, you could walk to the cache site or drive up the hill and
park near N42 22.900, W071 8.702, which is the closer to the final
cache.
There seems to be some GPS interference just prior to the final
cache site, so make sure your GPS settles down before you look for
the final location.
Special, personalized, items have been left for key cachers in the
area.
