Cache is NOT located at above coordinates but is within 3.2 km (2 miles). You will need to solve several separate puzzles to help determine the final coordinates. How many puzzles you need to solve will depend on your detective skills.
The puzzles generally increase in difficulty from HOMER-like to EINSTEIN-like. Once you have solved all or perhaps most of the puzzles you will need to determine how to arrange your answers. The possible permutations may be up to 8! or 40,320 possible cache locations although with a little reasoning you can probably reduce that number significantly.
The cache is located at N49 0A.BCD by W122 4E.FGH. I'll leave it to you to determine which order to put your puzzle answers in. The cache is a 1 litre lock and lock. The eight puzzles are as follows:
Puzzle #1 - Homer Simpson's maximum weight in pounds - TV channel that Mr. Plow was advertised on - 2 * the odds of Santa's Little Helper winning + race number that Santa's Little Helper was in - commandment number discussed regarding cable - the number of Treehouse of Horror episodes (as of Feb 2005)
Puzzle #2 - vloa se od wccft
Puzzle #3 - Record a find for an Earthcache in BC then send me an e-mail and I will e-mail you the number.
Puzzle #4 - The ROCK is gone! Constructon has removed it. But you can still go to the location and determine the "thousands" digit of local addresses.
Puzzle #5 -
Puzzle #6 -
Puzzle #7 - The published coordinates contain an important clue. You will be standing near a tee box. What hole is it?
Puzzle #8 - You must take the atomic number of "this" element and add its digits together. Take this answer and add its digits together again. (note: its not Platinum)
Puzzle #9 - If you can decipher this puzzle it may help you descramble the order to place the puzzle answers in. Note: you still need to solve the above puzzles to use this information.
