Geocache Description:

Polish up on your Portugese!

In order to complete the cache you will need to have completed and found the CrissCrossWord cache and retrieved the word on the last page.

Take each letter and convert it to a number ie A=1,B=2,C=3 etc. so the first letter is [C1] and the second is [C2] and the third is [C3] etc..

Then complete the following puzzle.

You are the ruler of a ancient empire and you are about to have a celebration tomorrow. The celebration is the most important party you have ever hosted. You've got 1001 bottles of wine you were planning to open for the celebration, but you find out that one of them is poisoned.

The poison exhibits no symptoms until death. Death occurs within ten to twenty hours after consuming even the minutest amount of poison.

You have thousands of prisoners at your disposal and just under 24 hours to determine which single bottle is poisoned.

What is the smallest number of captives you must have to drink from the bottles to be sure to find the poisoned bottle?

Once you have the answer call it X ...

The cache is at S26 AB.CDE and E27 FG.HIJ

Now compute the following to get the final location of the cache.
A=[C4]-[C7]
B=[X]-[C6]
C=([C2]/[C1])-3
D=[C2]-[C5]
E=[X]-2
F=([X]/2)-1
G=[C8]-[X]
H=[C4]
I=(2*[X])-[C3]
J=[C2]-[X]

The original contents of the cache were:

  • Deck of Cards
  • Stickers (Disney)
  • Dinosaur
  • Butterfly Clip (Glittered)
  • Spinning Top
  • Spiderman Action Figure

There is a small entrance fee to get to the cache
