British English Vs American English.
Geocaching "across the pond" in Britain is super exciting for more reasons then one. But, there is one thing that can make it more challenging… we don’t speak the same language! -In honor of Her Majesty the Great Queen of England; Elizabeth the Second and Janine Phythian who IS a real lady, I hide this Geocache with the cooperation and great assistance of the amazing staff of the Addison Illinois Library! Thanks Gaby!
This is a three stage field puzzle that is ridiculously easy and a DT=1/1 (You're welcome) ... you just gotta be inside the Addison Library to finish it. The library hours are posted on the bottom of their website HERE. Generally they open at 9am / except 1pm Sundays but please check the website.
When you get to the library, There should be no need to talk to a librarian. As a matter of fact - I would prefer that you didn't. Just heed these directions from across the pond; "Keep your mush shut here, and don't fanny about. Take the lift to the first floor and take a gander for The Big Smoke to plan your fortnights holiday. If you don't you'll be gutted you missed the booty. And if you Yankee's ever cross the pond to cache, best to say you're Canadian!" (Translation on trackable page)
STAGE ONE:
The first stage cords take you to the parking lot of the Addison Illinois Library. Here you can observe the information to help you solve this little riddle which will be information to help you find the final stage located inside the library.
Before you walk in – you’ll notice huge letters that line the top of the awning above the main entrance. As you decode the below riddle, please write your answer in the order of the questions.
1). 11th letter
2). 6th letter
3). 7th letter
4). 2nd letter
5). 6th letter
6). 7th letter
STAGE TWO:
The cords take you to the "Hold Shelf" just past the fish aquarium inside the library. There is no need to ask the staff - look on the shelf for the American English - English American two-way guide book to solve the following two questions. The answers you’ll need at the next and final stage. Write down the answers to the following two questions in order: 1). how many nights is a fortnight in the USA? 2). translate first floor into America English.
NOW use your answers in this order to claim your smiley in the next stage! Please replace the American English two-way reference book exactly as you found it on the little black stand on the shelf. Do not remove it from this area.
STAGE THREE / FINAL:
Ohhh I'll bet you're excited - Now you just have to find the right book. This book can be found in the travel section. Read the directions from "across the pond" if you need help getting there. The trannslation of this British instructions can be found on the trackable page. SPOILER ALERT please be fore-warned the answers to finding the final and photos can be found on that same trackable page. So dont look unles you have to. You already have everything you need. Once you decode the book title and find your prize - you'll know what to do!
