Geocache Description:



IT'S OUT THERE SOMEWHERE!
This stellar puzzle cache was placed to celebrate my six years of geocaching which began in December, 2003.

Francis Galton, in his 1874 study, English Men of Sciences; Their Nature and Nurture, theorized how several factors explained why firstborn children have higher IQ's. Many research studies since then note overrepresentation of firstborns among the college population and the eminent. So does this make me the brightest son in my family? My two younger brothers would probably disagree. So who are the brightest sons? It's your job to find out if you want to solve this puzzle.

There is parking about 500 feet south of the cache and a walk through a park, but since this is a puzzler I can't reveal the coordinates. Otherwise, you'll have to take a longer hike, starting from somewhere else in the universe.
