Geocache Description:

The posted coordinates are phony! There is no geocache there. You need to solve the mystery to obtain the true coordinates.

This puzzle is about a group of people who have a peculiar common bond. Each person in the group can be associated with a unique number (digit), which will become very clear and logical to you once you determine who they are and how the numbers are associated.

In this puzzle, their real names are not used. We have made up an alternate name for each. A few facts are provided for each person, and it is up to you to determine their identities and how they are associated to each other. Implied genders are accurate.

We promise that this puzzle will bring many of you a real "a-ha" moment.

All facts are current as of the date this geocache is published.

A. Dick has been married three times. He has a strong interest in machines and science. He has been active in technology and information technology industries. Among other things, has produced and marketed keyboards and educational technologies for children.
B. Harry is dead. He died from cancer. He has a daughter, who was born in 1958. Harry was homosexual.
C. Jennifer is in the graphic design business. She recently published a coffee table book. She has a son, who was born in 1996, and who has been diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome.
D. Amy is married. She has a daughter, who was born in 1989. Her mother contracted syphilis from her grandmother in utero.

So there you go. When you figure out who these people are, it should be pretty easy matter to determine what numbers they represent.

The final cache is located at the following coordinates:
N39° 4F.CEA'
W084° 1B.AGD'


Oh yeah! When you do find the actual cache, let us know if the coat hangar that we left there came in handy.

Have fun!
