" April Fools Cache Rush" Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

Ngaambul: As there's been either no response from the cache owner, no cache to find or log to sign, or it's been a number of months since the last owner note. I'm archiving it to keep it from continually showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements. If you wish to repair/replace/make available the cache sometime in the near future (next 30 days), just contact us (by email), and assuming it meets the current guidelines, we'll be happy to unarchive it. Should you replace the cache after 30 days has passed please create a new cache listing so it can be reviewed as a new cache.

Geocache Description:

If you head for the posted location you will need to bring your swimmers as the co-ordinates are bogus. Once you do work out the puzzle the cache is quite easy to find. This cache is a 400ml container The codeword for the game is in the middle of my stamp on the log book.

Here is a nice easy puzzle to get your brain working. Most of you would have already heard of it.

The Puzzle

Write a number between 1 & 9, times this by 9.
Add the numbers in the total together, then minus 5.
Translate the result into the letter of the alphabet.

Eg:
1 = A
2 = B

Pick a country starting with that Letter.
Take the second letter in that countries name and choose an animal beginning with that letter.

Write down the colour of that animal.

Count the number of letters in your answers for:

W = Country
Y = Animal
Z = Colour

KK = Z x 13
M = W + 2
NN = W + Z
OO = Y x 2


1st Location: S 37° KK.WMY E 145° NN.ZOO

These co-ordinates will take you to a sign post. Count the number of letters. This is = P

RRR = P x 47 + 3
SSS = P x 18 + 12


Cache location: S 37° KK.RRR E 145° NN.SSS

The cache is an easy stroll from here it is in one of those classic cache hiding spots with the normal lot of goodies inside. BYO Pen.
