Geocache Description:

*** The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates ***

This cache is part of a series of four caches. The first three caches of this series--each based on a type of puzzle found in most newspapers-- are this one, Miller's Crossword, and "Hey! It's That Guy!" Sudoku. Each of these caches contains a clue you need to find the final cache of the series, The Final Chapter.

This puzzle is much like the "Jumble" puzzle in the daily newspaper-- except without the punny cartoon.

First, unscramble each of these sets of letters to make the LAST name of a current major movie star. These are the biggest movie stars going right now (and on the cover of the magazines at the checkout line every week), so you certainly don't have to be a major film fan to be able to do this.

Now, take all the letters from the circled spaces in your unscrambled names, and use them to spell four numbers (warning-- you may be spelling the same number twice). When you have the correct four numbers, you will not have any letters left over.

Take your four numbers, and arrange them alphabetically. In the alphabetical list, assign the first number to be A, the second one to be B, and so on.

Next is some easy arithmetic:

x=A+D
y=C-A
z=B+D-A

Now, go find the cache at:

N 47 38.xAy
W 122 06.zxx

Checksum for the six missing digits of the coordinates is 35.

When you find the cache, be sure to note the clue on the inside front cover of the log book. You'll need it to find the final cache of this series, FilmFans' Triathlon: The Final Chapter.

There is no FTF prize in this cache (it's a triathlon, not a sprint!) But there are prizes for the first six finders of The Final Chapter.
