Brain Strain Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

BlueRajah: I am archiving this cache to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. The reviewers asked you some time ago to check this cache, and no action was taken. If this was done in error please contact me immediately. If the cache was archived because of maintenance issues (no response to our earlier notes on the cache page) you will need to submit a new cache.

Thank you,

Geocache Description:

This cache has three waypoints and is appropriate for the whole family. You can drive right up to all the points to gather data and the final waypoint is air conditioned in the summer and heated in the winter!

The cache space is very limited so please sign the log but refrain from leaving trade items.

Please observe the following hours for the final waypoint:

Monday-Thursday 10am-9pm
Friday and Saturday 10am-6pm


At the first waypoint, ask William Neff how old he was when he died. We'll call this number AA. This number will be used to locate the second and third waypoints.

Time for a little math!

(AA * 10) + 268 = BBB

118 - AA = CCC

The second waypoint is located at:

N 40 30.BBB  W 111 56.CCC

At the second waypoint, note the post number on the plaque. We'll call this number XXXX. You will need this number to find the precise location of the cache at the final waypoint.

Time for some more math!

AA - 11 = DDD

(AA * 10) - 22 = EEE

The third waypoint is located at:

N 40 31.DDD  W 111 56.EEE

You'll now find yourself standing outside a set of doors. It's time to do the unthinkable and turn off your GPS! It's ok, you won't need it and it won't work inside anyways!

Once inside, go to the nearest computer with internet access. Go to the following website, using the clue obtained at the second waypoint to learn the precise location of the cache container:
