Geocache Description:

"Hooray, I'm useful. I'm having a wonderful time." -- Dr. John A. Zoidberg

The cache is not at the above-listed coordinates!

This puzzle cache is a tribute to Dr. John Zoidberg, my favorite character on Futurama. The correct answers to the Zoidberg-related questions below will reveal the actual coordinates, like so:

N 44° AB.CDE W 123° FG.HIJ

You are looking for a well-camouflaged micro-sized container. When replacing the container, please make sure that it is closed tightly and that it is in the same direction in which you found it. Also, please be sure to camouflage it as well (or better) than you found it. There will be some motorized muggles nearby, but they should not present a problem.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.


Congrats to greenwordturner for being FTF!

And here are two more Zoidberg quotes, both of which can be applied to geocaching:

"In my experience boxes are usually empty, sometimes with a little cheese stuck to the top. And one time pepperoni... what a day that was!"

"You know, maybe a certain blue lobster saw where Professor hid the box..."
