This is a multicache that requires some simple problem solving to complete. This is mostly a driving tour, and you will cover 55 miles from beginning to end (mostly on LA Freeways). Also note that some knowledge of Stooge history will be helpful in solving this puzzle…
During your journey, you will be meeting all of the members of the various lineups of The Three Stooges, starting with their vaudeville days, and ending with their full-length feature films. You will visit the final resting places of each cast member by stopping at five different cemeteries in four different parts of Los Angeles County. Please note that Stooges 2-4 cannot be visited on Saturdays.

What is the name of Stooge #1? Question #1: What is the date of birth on the second tombstone to the left of Stooge #1? Stooge #2: Convert the answer to Question #1 to the following form MM/DD/YYYY. Using AB/CD/EFGH to represent your answer, substitute the appropriate digits in the following to obtain the coordinates of Stooge #2: Coordinates: N 34° 0A.B4F, W 1CD° E0.607 You will now have to drive to the location of Stooge #2. Once you have arrived, you should be at the gravesite of a member of the most well-known trio of Stooges. What is the name of Stooge #2? Question #2: What is the date of death of the person buried to the left of Stooge #2? Stooge #3: Convert the answer to Question #2 to the following form MM/DD/YYYY. Using AB/CD/EFGH to represent your answer, substitute the appropriate digits in the following to obtain the coordinates of Stooge #3: Coordinates: N 34° 0A.27F, W 1BD° EC.H36 You can now walk to the next location within the same cemetery. The coordinates will take you to an obvious back-entrance to a Mausoleum. Enter the Mausoleum and locate the Eternal Life Corridor; search this corridor for Stooge #3, a man who both preceded and followed Stooge #2. What is the name of Stooge #3? Question #3: What is the year of death of the person entombed directly above Stooge #3? Stooge #4: Using ABCD to represent the answer to Question #3, substitute the appropriate numbers in the following to obtain the coordinates of Stooge #4: Coordinates: N 33° 58.C94, W 118° D3.4BA You will now have to drive to the location of Stooge #4. At the listed coordinates, you should find a man who was in every lineup of the Three Stooges. What is the name of Stooge #4? Question #4: What is the year of birth of the person who is entombed immediately to the left of Stooge #4? Stooge #5: Using ABCD to represent the answer to Question #4, substitute the appropriate numbers in the following to obtain the coordinates of Stooge #5: Coordinates: N 34° 0D.336, W 118° A4.CB3 You will now have to drive to the location of Stooge #5. These coordinates have placed you in front of a large Mausoleum. Enter the Mausoleum and locate The Sanctuary of Liberation; search the Sanctuary of Liberation and you will finally find Stooge #5. You are looking for the Stooge whose health problems in 1970 effectively brought an end to The Three Stooges. What is the name of Stooge #5? Question #5: Directly under Stooge #5 is a plaque with a series of 5-digit numbers. What is the top number of the series? Stooge #6: Using ABCDE to represent the answer to Question #5, substitute the appropriate digits in the following to obtain the coordinates of Stooge #6: Coordinates: N 34° 07.C08, W 118° 1E.D01 You can now walk to the location of Stooge #6 within the same cemetery. At the coordinates, you should be at the final resting place of the last Stooge to be featured in their short features. What is the name of Stooge #6? Question #6: What is the birth date of the person who is buried immediately to the left of Stooge #6? Stooge #7: Convert the answer to Question #6 to the following form MM/DD/YYYY. Using AB/CD/EFGH to represent your answer, substitute the appropriate digits in the following to obtain the coordinates of the last stooge: Coordinates: N 34° AE.C64, W 118° BG.64D You will now have to drive to the location of Stooge #7.
