Gday and welcome to the Aussie Trivia multi cache (small swaps only).
This cache hunt will provide you with some stunning views of Gungahlin and its surrounding districts, plus a nice stroll or ride to the cache.
In order to successfully complete this find, you need to know the answers to 10 Aussie Trivia questions shown below.
Record the answers to each question A to J. The answers will be needed to calculate the location of the cache. Do you know your 11 times tables???? This will come in handy.
Those of you who are Aussie Trivia ‘legends’ will known the answers to a lot of the questions already, but those who are somewhat trivia challenged (like myself) will need to do a little googling to find the answers.
When you find the cache and log your entry, please include the number of questions that you knew off the top of your head……and let’s be honest!
The 10 Aussie Trivia Questions are as follows:
A. What year did Phar Lap win the Melbourne Cup?
B. How many ships made up the First Fleet?
C. What is the height of Mount Kosciuszko (in metres)?
D. What is the total number of points in the stars on the Australian Flag?
E. What was the day and month (ddmm) Ned Kelly was hanged at old Melbourne Gaol?
F. How many runs did David Hookes score in his debut Test innings?
G. How old was Sidney Nolan when he died?
H. How many Senators make up the Australian Senate?
I. What weight (in kilograms) did Dean Lukin lift in the clean and jerk to win Gold at the 1984 Olympics?
J. How many days were there in the year vegemite was invented?
Treat each of the answers as a number.
STARTING COORDINATES
Mr Hardie is impounded, but he will still give you a 5 digit number……only if the entrance is closed! Take a note of the number.
CACHE
To obtain the South coordinate of the cache, perform the following calculation and subtract the result to the original South coordinate:
(C-A) - (E/B) - D + (Mr Hardie penultimate digit)
To obtain the East coordinate of the cache, perform the following calculation and add the result from the original East coordinate:
(J-I) - (half of G+H rounded down) - F + (the sum of Mr Hardie digits and the middle Mr Hardie digit again)
Please return the cache to its home as you found it. Why not take some lunch along with you and enjoy the 360 degree views with Mr Hardie.
Happy hunting!
