Lunchtime
Logic
One day, five geocachers set out on their lunch hour in
search of the latest cache. Each was successful in
independently locating the hide. Using the information below,
can you determine the name of each cacher, the model GPSr they use,
their age, number of finds, and the order in which they found the
cache?
|
1.
|
Carla has the least number of finds with only 64 and the
person with the Lowrance iFinder has the 79 finds. The man
who uses the Lowrance iFinder is 70 years old and is the oldest
cacher in the group and he also did not finish last.
|
|
2.
|
The 14 year old, who is the youngest, finished after Betty
and finished two places ahead of the one who uses the
Magellan. Andy doesn't have a Lowrance iFinder.
|
|
3.
|
David is older than the woman who uses the Garmin Legend
but younger than the person who finished first. Earl didn't
finish second.
|
|
4.
|
The person who uses the Magellan is older then the person
who has 81 finds, but younger than the person who finished
second.
|
|
5.
|
The person with the Garmin Geko has fewer finds than the
person who finished last but more finds the person who is 28 years
old.
|
|
6.
|
The person with the Garmin Vista has the most finds at
105, but David is only two finds behind her. Carla is 28
years old.
|
|
7.
|
Two of the cachers celebrated birthdays this month.
One is 36 and the other is 59.
|
Once you've solved the puzzle, use the information you've
learned to assign a number to each of the follow
letters:
|
A
|
=
|
The last digit of the age of the person who finished
first.
|
|
B
|
=
|
The position in which the person using the Garmin Legend
finished.
|
|
C
|
=
|
Betty’s finds less the
number of finds by the last place finisher.
|
|
D
|
=
|
The first digit of the Garmin
Vista user’s age.
|
|
E
|
=
|
The first digit in the number of finds by the 36 year
old.
|
|
F
|
=
|
Carla’s finds times
Andy's age plus the number of level 4 difficulty hides you've
completed, multiplied by the square of two times your age, less 4,
divided by the number of finds David made last Tuesday, and then
the result multiplied by the cube root of the tangent of 180
degrees unless it's a Friday in which case you should use the
square of the cosine of 90 degrees.
|
|
G
|
=
|
The last digit of Andy’s
age.
|
|
H
|
=
|
Andy’s finds less
Earl’s finds plus the position in which Betty
finished.
|
|
I
|
=
|
David’s age less
Carla’s Age less the last digit in the number of finds made
by the Magellan user.
|
|
J
|
=
|
The position in which the
Garmin Geko user finished.

Lenker Park
This cache used to be a two-stage multicache with a
puzzle, but the hiding location of the initial stage (an old water
pump) was recently removed by the township. As such, I have decided
to convert this to a simple puzzle cache but not relist it since I
didn't change the final location.
The cache can be found at: N 40° CF.DJG W 076°
HB.EIA
Note: As I discovered when attempting
to hide this cache, the park can be quite busy at times.
Please use stealth as necessary and keep an eye out for muggles who
may be watching you from any number of directions. Please be
sure to rehide the cache completely out of sight.
