Below is a modified Battleship game board that
consists of a 5X5 grid. Hidden on the grid are 3 boats, all of
which are the ever elusive‚ 2 holed‚ PT Boats, Named PT-1, PT-2,
and PT-3. To find the coordinates of the battleship (final cache),
you must first locate these 3 PT Boats. Once they are located, you
will have to do some slight calculations to obtain the coordinates
of the final cache.
To
fire a shot, simply visit the location of one of the 25 virtual
type targets. There are no cache containers at any of these
locations (well, not mine anyway). Determine if the answer to the
question for that location is true or false. If the answer is true,
it is a hit‚ if the answer is false it is a miss. There is no need
to go to all 25 locations, but you will need to find all 3 PT boats
in order to obtain coordinates for the final cache.

Once you have determined the position of all 3 PT boats, you
will need to determine their orientation and the numbers they
represent. Here is all the information you will need to figure the
final coordinates:
On the grid, North is "up".
PT-2 is southern most.
PT-1 is more west than PT-3.
All PT boats are either heading south or west.
For translating rows to numbers, A=6; B=7; C=8; D=9; E=0.
The front portion of a PT boat represents the columns (numbers
1-5).
The rear portion of a PT boat represents the rows (numbers
6-0).
Latitude: N 32 (PT-2
front)(PT-2 rear) . (PT-1 front)(PT-1 front)(PT-3 rear)
Longitude: W 097 (PT-1
front)(PT-2 front) . (PT-2 rear)(PT-1 front)(PT-2 front)
The final cache is 48 ounce container hidden within Tarrant County.
Please rehide the cache exactly as it was found. It is unlikely you
will be seen at the final cache location, but park legally.
