Geocache Description:

Another of the L!zzardpower series based along the River Mersey in South Manchester.

The posted co-ordinates are NOT for the cache. They are for Jackson's Boat - a pub where you can park, and enjoy a pint after finding the cache!

An Archaelogist was excavating a site in Manchester when he came across a stone with a four letter word engraved upon it.

In his notebook he wrote that no two letters were identical. If one replaced each letter in the word with a number giving its alphabetic position (A=1, B=2 etc), the total of the letters is 20, and the sum of any three of the numbers is exactly divisible by the fourth number.

What was the English word?

Once you have solved the puzzle use the numeric values of the letters to determine the following:

A = The value of the fourth letter in the word.
B = The value of the third letter minus the second.
C = The value of the third letter plus three.
D = The value of the first letter minus four.
E = The value of the second letter plus the third letter.
