Blockbusters was a popular television game show where questions are answered by youngsters to complete a path across (or down) a game board of hexagons. It lasted for over eleven years (between 1983 and 1994) with Bob Holness as the host.
The game board consisted of 20 interlocking hexagons, arranged in five columns of four. Each hexagon contained a letter of the alphabet. A contestant would choose one of the letters, and would be asked a question whose correct answer began with the chosen letter. It became famous for the phrase “Can I Have a ‘P’ Please?” when the contestant wanted a question starting with the letter P.
This geocache is located at the listed co-ordinates, however, before you can find it, you must complete a line across the blockbusters board, joining one side to the other (left to right, NOT top to bottom). For example a direct route of P-N-V-L-Z or indirect route of A-Y-T-U-L-V-D-M-R. Click on the letters to find the caching requirement for each letter!
The rules for this are :
DATES
- All caches in your line across the grid must been found on the same day – though you can then find this cache on a later date.
- This cache does not count towards completing the line across the grid.
- You may find additional caches on your qualifying day that are not included in your grid line.
- Days/finds in the past count, should you be lucky enough to have already found the right combination of caches on a particular day.
- One cache find can only complete one cell on the blockbuster grid.
GEOCACHES
- Caches should be listed and active on www.geocaching.com when found. The only exception is for "Y" for the archived YOSM cache - see enable note on 6th July 2017.
- When found, they should be new finds and not return visits to previously found caches
- They should not be placed (or modified) specifically to meet criteria to complete this challenge
- Event Types do not count as finds (as they are logged as ‘attended’ rather than ‘found’)
Please enter into the spirit and fun of this challenge, and do not bend (or break) the rules to try and complete it (eg team splitting, artificial team formation etc)
When logging your find, please list the letters in the route you used across the grid, the date, and the caches you found to fulfil these requirements
