Geocache Description:


The geocache is not hidden at the given coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to determine the coordinates of the cache.

Ever since Christmas, I haven't been able to sit on the couch to watch TV because all these other guys have taken over our couch. But, today, after learning that my other cache has issues that I'm not going to be able to resolve in a day, I decided to learn more about these softies residing on the sofa. Turns out they each have their own special talents and interests.

  • shiny jewels
  • loves to scare
  • high jump champion
  • spectacular
  • mountain biking
  • scuba diver
  • ice baths
  • nutritionist
  • underwater karaoke
  • bar of soap
  • teaches ballet
  • investment portfolios
  • figure eight
  • historian
  • snazzy wigs

Special Notes about the 2025 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with Certitude. Finders will receive Top Finder points when submitting Found It logs to the cache page. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, which will probably happen sometime in March 2026). The real challenge is to see whether I can keep coming up with puzzles every month! To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.

Special Notes about this month's puzzle: I had a better hiding place, but it turned out to be too close to another cache (that I hadn't yet solved); so I had to move to a spot thirty-some feet away. The spot looks temporary, but Google Street Maps shows this not to have changed in a few years; so it might not be as temporary as it looks. I updated the Certitude hint on 2/5/2025 to be more explicit. In case of duplicate data, use the earliest one (or just use a reference from January 2025). 10th Feb 2025: I didn't think I already had duplicate data, but Turtle.X found that I did; so I replaced the last clue. There was no street where I originally planned to hide the cache; so I had to hide it nearby. 16th Dec 2025: Replacement hidden by MIK3L. Check certitude for updated location and hint.
