The above coordinates are bogus. They are for one of my
favorite restaurants where we have our Saturday geocaching stategy
meetings. Do not use them in trying to locate this cache.
After seeing how much fun everyone has had with my first puzzle
cache, I have decided to make another one. You will solve
brainteasers in order to get the coordinates for the cache. Each
brainteaser is independent of the previous one and you will need to
solve them in different ways. Please pay attention to each
brainteasers directions. You may have to reverse digits, multiply
answers, or add zeros to get the true numbers needed to fill in the
coordinates. If you carelessly overlook something in the
directions, then you might not be able to actually find the cache.
The puzzles are not as hard as they first appear, and some may have
several different ways to solve them
As with my first puzzle cache, I received permission to place
this second cache on private property. This should add a challenge
to the cache of not being able to solve a few puzzles and then
drive around looking for a nearby public area. When you get to the
caches true location, you will be able to park on the side of a
public road directly in front of the cache. It will be within
fifteen feet of the road. You will be looking for an ammo can.
There will be very few, if any, potential mugglers at his location.
If you are at an area that doesn’t fit the above description, then
you have probably figured one or more of the puzzles incorrectly.
ENJOY!!!!
TRAVEL BUGS MILEAGE MAY BE INCORRECT:
Just in case anyone gets the bright idea that I had to locate
this cache within a few miles of my listed coordinates at the top
of the page. The geocaching rules say that the bogus coordinates
should be within a few miles to the actual cache for correct travel
bug mileage when they are logged into caches. The bogus coordinates
above may be more than a few miles away. You need to remember this
if placing travel bugs into this cache.
The answers to the following brainteasers will fill these
coordinates
N32 AB.CDE
W092 FG.HIJ
You may or may not have to use zeros to fill in some problems
.
Brainteaser # 1: Answer for ACH
A fellow geocacher decided that he would try to sell some
hand-made walking sticks at the local geocaching picnic event. In
the first hour, he sold one-half of his sticks, plus one-half of a
stick. The next hour, he sold one-third of his remaining sticks
plus one-third of a stick. In the third hour, he sold one-fourth of
what he had left, plus three-fourths of a stick. The last hour, he
sold one-fifth of the remaining sticks, plus one-fifth of a stick.
He did not cut up any sticks to make these sales. He returned home
with 19 sticks. How many did he originally take to the event?
Multiply the answer by 3 and reverse the digits. This will give you
the answer for ACH in the coordinates. Make sure to multiply and
reverse the digits.
Brainteaser # 2: Answer for B
You are inside a perfectly squared room where each wall, the
ceiling and even the floor are mirrors. There is nothing else in
the room. Supposing that you can still breathe for this puzzle, how
many reflections can you see if you're facing one direction. You
are able to look straight ahead, up, down, left and right? Take the
correct answer to this puzzle and it will give you the digits for B
in the coordinates.
Brainteaser # 3: Answer for DE
This well-known and respected man passed away. The whole
community turned out for his funeral. On his gravestone , it read
that one sixth of his life was spent in childhood and one twelfth
as a teenager. One seventh of his life passed between the time he
became an adult and the time he married; five years later, his son
was born. Alas, the son died four years before he did. He lived to
be twice as old as his son did. How old did the man live to be?
Take the answer to this puzzle and it will give you the digits for
DE in the coordinates.
Brainteaser 4: Answer for FG
p, n, ?, s, j, m, e, v, m - Can you figure out logically the
missing letter in the sequence? Once you do solve the puzzle, then
use the following alphabet/number scale for your answer. If we
start at the letter A=3, B=4, C=5, D=6, etc,.…….,X=26,Y=27, Z=28.
The answer will be FG in the coordinates. You may get a single
number (Ex.A=3). If this is the case then make sure to add a zero
(3+0) so you will get the two digits for FG.
Brainteaser # 5: Answer for IJ
Okay, close your eyes and imagine a number written out in all
capital letters. If the number is written in English capital
letters, consisting only of straight lines, only one number has a
value equal to the number of straight line segments that are
required to write it out. What number is this? Take the answer to
this puzzle and reverse the digits. This will give you the answer
for IJ. Make sure to reverse the digits.
