The cache is not at the above co-ordinates.
Each of the following phrases must first be decoded. The answer to each phrase
is a single word. This word is formed by taking one letter from each word in
the phrase. Where these letters are placed within each word follows a pattern.
EXAMPLE - "Actual shows never let osmosis result."
The answer to this phrase is "cheese". The pattern is that you pick
the second
letter of each word. This is a Logical pattern. Logical patterns can
also involve the placement of consonants, vowels, or certain letters,
such as the first letter after the second vowel, etc.
EXAMPLE - "Cool thaws the era that's real."
The answer to this phrase is also "cheese". The pattern is {1,2,3,4,5,6}, that is,
the first letter of the first word, the second letter of the second word, etc.
This is a Numeric pattern. Notice that if there are not enough letters
in the word, the count wraps around to the beginning of the word (as in 'era'
or 'real').
==Helpful Bits==
- The phrases are never scrambled, so the letter you extract from the first
word in the phrase will be the first letter in the answer and so on.
- No pattern is used more than once.
- Ignore all punctuation, it's only there to slightly
increase the level of coherency.
- Assume all ‘Y’s are consonants.
- As only one letter is taken from each word in the puzzle, every answer will have an amount of letters equal
to the amount of words in the corresponding puzzle.

=================================================================
Once you have deciphered all of the phrases, they must be changed into tangible
co-ordinates.
To do so, follow these steps:
1. Replace each letter in the word with a number from 1 to 26 (A = 1, B = 2,
etc.)
2. Contract these numbers into a single number.
Example: CHEESE (3-8-5-5-19-5) becomes 3855195 (or 7 digits in length)
3. To generate the North co-ordinates, add together the
numeric answers of all the odd-numbered puzzles and subtract
14151364906285940666
4. To generate the West co-ordinates, add together the
numeric answers of all the even-numbered puzzles and subtract
31534006967117300795
5. The numbers that you generate will be in the form _ _ _ _._ _ _ for north or _ _ _ _ _._
_ _ for west.
