This cache has been archived.

go-purdue: Nearly nine years old, but this one needs to go. I thought it was fun while it lasted. It was one of my earliest puzzles that I created.

Geocache Description:


THE CACHE IS NOT LOCATED AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. DO NOT GO THERE. Solve the following puzzle to find the real coordinates.

(Difference between floor of death and restaurant in the same building) x number of feet tall the building is x number of stories for the building + 4 digit year Dom DeLuise was born

Month, day and year of receiving a star on hollywood walk of fame plus the zip code of his alma mater alumni association + 310010

Contents: log book, kristmundur travel bug, 2 magnetic car ribbons, & few more trinkets.

This is a small tupperware container donated to me by friends Alanna and Julie (soon to be converted into cachers someday)

Please no night caching.

****added info
I hid this cache on a rainy cloudy day, and created the puzzle based on those numbers. For all of those people who are solving the puzzle or who have solved it, please tweak your numbers by adding 3 for the North coordinates, and subtracting 9 from the West coordinates. That should help you in locating the cache. I took two different garmins out to the site on a sunny day, and those were the readings. So, go out, get the world by the tail, and wrap it around and put it in your pocket!
