Geocache Description:

An adventure through St. James Cemetery, located between the neighbourhoods of Cabbagetown, St. James Town and Rosedale. This hunt may take you a few hours or more than one session to complete. You're more likely to see a raccoon than a ghost.

TTC access: walk or take a southbound bus from Castle Frank subway station.

Before you go off on the hunt, look up the word for "mother" in a Finnish dictionary.

You don't have to do the questions in order. In fact, you may want to plan out your own order of doing them, based on which ones are closer to each other if you want to avoid hours of walking back and forth.

For each of the questions, fill in the number required in the blanks. If one of the digits of the answer coincides with a letter instead of a blank, then assign that letter to that digit.

For example, if the answer 1882 goes in the blanks _ _ Y _, then Y = 8.

If there is more than one occurrence of a letter, then add up all the values that letter receives.

For example, if you must write down the year 1935 in the slot _ _ X _, and then later the number 12 in the slot _ X, then X would be equal to the sum of 3 and 2. X = 5. If this sum is higher than 9 (more than one digit long), then add up its digits, for example if M comes up three times and its answers are 5, 3 and 9, then add them up to 17, then add up 1 and 7, so now you know that M = 8.

For the letters A, B, F and G there is only one answer to fill. For C and E, you will have to add up two digits. For D, there are 3 answers to add up.

The final cache is hidden at: 43 degrees 40.ADC North 79 degrees 2B.EFG West

PLEASE NOTE: Since there was a massive falling of trees at the previous GZ, cache is in a new and very obvious place, about 20 metres downhill (so roughly 20 metres west) of the solved puzzle coordinates.

Congratulations to Barnie's Band of Gold, who was first to find!!

Enjoy!
