Geocache Description:

NOTE: THE COORDINATES ABOVE ARE NOT WHERE THE CACHE IS LOCATED! It is a good spot to park, however.

I'm a fan of Jack Nicholson's movies, so I thought I'd do a puzzle cache based around the title of one of his best films. There are three parts to this puzzle: First, you have to cipher out the name of the film title, and then email that to me. You MUST email me (please use the emailer in my profile to prevent spam) the title to be able to log a "find"! In the second part, you do the calculations, using the numbers and instructions I've provided, to find the coordinates. The last part is to actually find the cache. It is a micro cache, but if you pay close attention to the work you've done already, it will be VERY easy. Feel free to email me at any time, if you get "stuck", or want to verify your work that you've done.

Here are the cipher numbers, there are 25 total numbers. Each number matches up to a letter in the title of the film (after ciphering), in order that the film title reads. Ignore any punctuation and spaces in the title of the film:

15, 14, 5, 6, 12, 5, 23, 15, 22, 5, 18, 20, 8, 5, 3, 21, 3, 11, 15, 15, 19, 14, 5, 19, 20

Here are the instructions to find the coordinates. The numbers that you'll use are the numbers above, from left to right. The number on the far left is #1, the last number is #25.

First Coordinate:

1. 5th number + 25th number =
2. 1st number - 2nd number =
3. 4th number
4. 11th number - 15th number =
5. 16th number - 21st number =

Second Coordinate:

1. 18th number
2. 1st number - 8th number =
3. 6th number
4. First digit of the 9th number
5. 16th number - 19th number =
6. 15th number x 3 =
7. Second digit of the 21st number

Remember, you MUST email me the title of the film, or a "Found" cannot be logged! Please don't post this information in the logs, or it will be deleted. Good luck and have fun with this one. No hints will be posted, unless people have serious problems.
