Evil is as evil
does
Sometimes you must step into the world of a cache owner to claim
their cache. To find their cache you must take an interest in what
interests them. In some cases, like programming, you might not have
the aptitude or even the intelligence required to solve the
mystery. Others might require that a children's movie be bought
(rented, borrowed, stolen) and then be watched and re-watched to
pick up on the hints. Ah, the micro's in the middle of nowhere.
Then there are the caches that can only be found after a heroic
hike and a 40 minute search by a team of four or more searchers
armed with a cell phone connection to the owner. And then there are
the caches placed where a lone, old guy, sticks out like a neon
sign... playground equipment. Let's not forget the sides of cliffs
or the rotten branches of monster trees that need to be
scaled.
I think to myself --- There is no requirement for anyone to go
after any of these and everyone has the freedom to chose. Each to
their own. Live and let live. You can just ignore them, no harm, no
foul
... and that is when the evil Dr Pikb steps in and takes
over!
Yeah, right! What goes around comes around. An
eye-for-an-eye. Do onto others as they did!
Revenge Requirements Checklist:
- Requires specialized knowledge and items to
solve.
- Cannot be easily returned to for follow-on searches
- Container must be a bare bones micro
- Must be hidden in such a way that requires a extensive
search
- Hint should state the obvious
- Additional hints and subtle clues kept to a minimum
The cache is not at the listed coordinates. To determine the
actual coordinates you will need some specialized tools and
materials and then figure out how to use them.
You are on a ship heading 050° (T) at a speed of 10
knots. At 1600 you gain a radar contact bearing 160° (T), 9,000
yards. At 1603 the radar contact bears 160° (T), 8,000 yards. At
1606 the radar contact bears 160° (T), 7,000 yards.
Determine the following information about the radar
contact: TRUE COURSE, SPEED (in knots), CPA
(Closest-point-of-approach) RANGE (in yards), CPA True BEARING, and
CPA TIME (use military time). Do not round-off or use any decimal
points.
A = Course + Speed + 839
B = (CPA Time - CPA Range) - (1002 + CPA Bearing)
Cache coordinates are: N38 00.A W122 43.B
Having received final approval from the powers-that-be,
First-To-Find will be awarded 3,490,581,002 FTF
Points.
