Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates but it IS located within Kingston. The actual cache difficulty to find the container is 1.5 however due to the number of puzzles to find it, I have rated this as a 4.5.

About This Cache This cache is a tribute to ePeterson's Florida-based Puzzle Solving 101 Cache Series, republished in 2009 with permission of the author on the Kingston Area Geocachers' website. This mid-term exam cache is a Canadian reward for solving the first 9 caches in the series before trying the final exam! Solving this series will definitely help you build your puzzle-solving skills for attacking Kingston's plethora of puzzle caches. Each puzzle contains a lesson focusing on a specific skill, examples of how to use it, and an exercise to test your new abilities. Study the lesson, complete the exercise, and you'll find the location of a geocache (albeit in Florida). If you've been paying attention to the lessons in this series, you should have no trouble passing this local mid-term exam (without having to travel south of the border!). Don't be afraid to try anything you've learned. You may already have completed much of the work for this cache as part of the puzzle solving tutorial posted on the Kingston Area Geocacher's website over the past year. I hope you kept your answers! If not, its never too late to start!
