Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates!

The inefficacious palaver-
This is a spot I have become very familiar with over the last two years, as it is where students from my high school take their AP exams. One exam in particular may interest you: the AP Geocaching Exam.


It's quite simple, really. One two-part puzzle to solve, one cache to find. There are no time limits. If you solve the puzzle and find the cache, you place out of Geocaching 101 and 102. The puzzle is NOT on a college level, nor does it require college level thinking (fortunately). The difficulty is what it is because it will take some time to get the actual coordinates once you figure out what to do.
***NOTE- The misspelling in the puzzle, cavoir, was truly accidental. That being said, DO NOT correct the spelling when solving the puzzle or you will get a very strange answer.***

The puzzle, part 1-

Freddy Jay Gomez once ate PB mold cannibals that tasted better than blue pork and cavoir on ice

The puzzle, part 2-

Bangkok lazily lies in heavily humid Thailand where sunny days squash sundae meals in the egged G Park
