This cache is not too close to the coordinates
given above, although that is certainly an interesting place. Solve
the puzzles as described below to compute the coordinates of the
cache.
Try this link to the mazes here, but not the
prettier expanded version there, because
although it has been extended to more mazes, it does not output the
codes you will need. The rules and story can all be found through
various links on this page, as well as the solution to a couple of
the mazes for those who need help starting off. All of the credit
for these mazes goes to Toby Nelson and Robert Abbott, whose web
sites are referenced above.
It may take you a little while to figure out the basic moves,
but after that it's all about defeating the mechanical bull. You
will need to write down the 4-letter code you see when you beat a
particular maze. While you may not need them all to find the cache,
I refer to all 10 maze result codes in the solution.
To get the coordinates:
Convert the individual letters to numbers using a basic system of
A=1, B=2, ... Y=25, Z=26 and do the following math.
For brevity's sake the key for below is:
Maze solution # (1-15), letter #(1-4) - Maze solution #, letter #.
So if Maze 1's answer code is GKLX and Maze 2's is AKWR then (1,4)
- (2,3) = X - W = 24 - 23 = 1.
North latitude in standard dd mm.mmm format:
(3,4) - (1,1)
(2,1) - (1,3)
(4,1) - (5,3)
(6,4) - (8,1)
(10,2) - (10,3)
(10,4) - (7,2)
(6,3) - (5,1)
West longitude also in dd mm.mmm format:
(2,4) - (3,1)
(4,2) - (3,3)
(7,4) - (9,1)
(1,2) - (7,1)
(7,3) - (6,2)
(8,2) - (2,3)
(9,4) - (4,3)
The mazes are meant to be fun, they do not have to be done in
any particular order but a learning process evolves if done in near
order.
The final cache is an ammo box that should be relatively easy to
locate once you have the proper coordinates, although the final few
feet may be a tad more difficult. The location could be busy so
please keep an eye out and hide it well.
Good luck on freeing Theseus, email me with any questions or
problems. I can/will provide a check sum of the coordinates for
those who are stuck or for anyone who just wants to verify their
answer.
