This cache is the final cache in the Dominoes & Dice series. In
order to find this cache you originally had to collect the dominoes
and dice from the first 6 caches and solve the puzzles below .
Puzzle 1
You should have collected a number of dice from the first 6 caches
in the series. The numbers on those dice are the numbers on the top
face of some 3 dimensional dice. Turn all your dice upside down and
add the numbers together that are now on the top faces, then add
20. This number is AA.
Puzzle 2
You should have collected a number of dominoes from the first 6
caches in the series. Ignore any dominoes that have a zero on any
of the sides for the purposes of puzzle 2. All of the remaining
dominoes can be turned into fractions that have a value of less
than or equal to 1. For example, if you have a domino with a 3 on
one side and a 4 on the other, the fraction is ¾. Add all
these fractions together, and round to the nearest whole number.
This number is C.
Puzzle 3
If all your dice are placed on top of one another in a vertical
tower, which number must be on the top of the pile if all the
hidden faces of all the dice add up to 32? This number is E.
Puzzle 4
All the dominoes can be placed in a long line, according to the
standard rules of dominoes. Use your dominoes to create this line,
making sure you use ALL of the dominoes you have collected. Add the
two numbers at the ends of this chain together and add 2 to this
number. Your total is F.
Puzzle 5
All of your dominoes and dice have a numeric value. For the
dominoes it is the sum of the numbers on both sides, and for the
dice it is the number on the top face. Altogether you should have
17 numbers.
16 of these numbers can be placed in a magic square formation. If
you are unfamiliar with magic squares, they are an arrangement of
numbers in a square (4x4 in this case), where each row, column and
2 diagonals adds up to the same total. This total is known as the
‘magic number’.
After placing 16 of your numbers in such an arrangement, you will
have one of the numbers left over. This number is D
You should also now know what the magic number of the square is.
Divide this number by 2, to give you B.
