Puzzlemania #1
This cache involves piecing together a set of clues to ultimately determine the final resting place of the cache.
Note 1: The posted co-ordinates are bogus.
Note 2: The final co-ordinates were modified 02/11/2003 after the initial cache disappeared.
Other clues used to be in other caches, but over time, most have since been archived. All of the clues are now shown below.
The Puzzle:
Six geocaching teams have moved to a new location, all living on one side of a street. The houses are numbered sequentially from 1 to 6. (e.g. House #3 is between #2 and #4, not #1 and #5). Clues are given pertaining to the house number, colour, their car, and their pet.
Work out the house numbers of each team, then use them to calculate the final co-ordinates.
Initial Clues:
1. The red house is next to the white house.
2. The tiger lives right between the yellow house and the house with the horse.
3. Alan-san has a pet chimpanzee.
4. Team Boodi do not own the Maserati.
5. Kiwideb lives next door to house # 4.
6. Maccamob live next door to the house with the donkey.
7. Biggles Bear do not drive a Ferrari.
8. The Lamborghini "lives" right between the blue house and the house with the chimpanzee.
