Do you remember the cuddly Ewoks in "Return of the Jedi?"
They live on the forest moon of Endor where the Empire was building a power station for the latest Death Star. The Ewoks have hidden a cool treasure which can be found at S25 49.VVV E28 16.HHH.
PUZZLE: In the movie one of the Ewoks steals an Imperial 74-Z Military Speederbike. He throws the accelerator wide open with hilarious results.
He covers 12.134kms in 2 minutes before crashing into a tree.

- To get HHH you will need to work out his average speed and double it.
- To get VVV you will need to work out how many seconds of panic-hilarity he experienced!
Chop off the decimals for both VVV and HHH.
PLEASE STICK TO DEMARCATED PATHS TO GET TO THIS CACHE. This means you will walk a bit of a loop, but it is worth it.
