The evil Dr Pikb has captured 6 local cachers (including Simone) and performed sinister genetic experiments on them. Using Microsoft Age Regression software, he's now changed them into children, each a different age (2 through 7 inclusive)! Apparently there were other cellular changes made.....poor sdarken and J5 Crew! The evil doc also managed to find a way to genetically program their recreational preferences. Three of them now exclusively like some form of hiking (including winter hiking) and three some form of caching.
Dr Pikb has agreed to reverse his evil experiment if you can solve the puzzle by using the clues below and find his laboratory where our heroes are being held. Can you help these poor souls?
Clues:
1) The 3 girls are: the multi cacher, the night hiker, and the five-year old.
2) Dina is either a year older or a year younger than the puzzle cacher.
3) The three-year old is a cacher of some kind.
4) The night hiker is one year older than a hiker and one year younger than a cacher.
5) Arnold isn't exactly two years older than the trail hiker.
6) The three hikers are: Dina, Bob, and the six-year old.
7) Mark isn't the virtual cacher.
8) Mary is either a year older or a year younger than Bob.
The cache resides at:
N 38 08.DRP
W 122 35.IKB
D: Mark's age
R: Night hiker's age minus winter hiker's age
P: Arnold's age
I: Bob's age
K: Multi cacher's age minus 3
B: Puzzle cacher's age
The six-digit checksum for the solved puzzle coords is 18.
Please be gentle while searching and return things where you found them. Try to make the area look natural before you leave so the cache doesn't get muggled.
