Geocache Description:

A quick micro but you still have to earn it with a puzzle. :)


THE ABOVE COORDINATES ARE NOT CORRECT! In order to find the correct coordinates you will have to answer the following questions. Be careful the questions can be very tricky.

****************************************************************************
The cache is really at:
N 36 19.ABC
W 75 48.DEF

A.
Donald went out crabbing. He could pull up 3 crabs with each crab pot. But the water was so rough that the crabs got loose and scuttled around the boat . One third of them were able to jump back overboard to safety before he stowed the rest safely away. How many pots must he pull in to the boat in order to get 12 crabs, enough for a good dinner?

B.
Vic takes a walk up and down the beach, which is six kilometers for a round trip. Her dog is slower and walks at half the speed of Vic. Vic walks up the beach for 3 km, then turns around to return to her start. When Vic and her dog meet, the dog is walking up the beach and Vic is walking down. Upon meeting, the dog turns around to follow Vic back to the start. How far does the dog walk?

C.
Jerry bought a funny new watch. Whenever he pushed a button it played a different song. Not only that but it played a different song for every combination of buttons he pushed. If his watch could play 15 songs how many buttons did it have?

D.
Kathryn opened a clothing store called “Kathryn’s Closet” She didn’t know how to price her items so she created her own method:
TIE = $3
BLOUSE = $6
PANTS = $5
OVERALLS = $8
Using this price scheme how much will STILLETOS cost?

E.
Bacchus, the Greek God, decided to visit a local village. He stopped at 1/3 of the houses in the village. At each house he gave them 1/4 of a case of wine. If there are 24 houses in the village how many cases did he give away?

F.
Kass wanted an elaborate display of wine glasses. So she decided to make a pyramid. The top layer only had 1 glass. The next had 4. The third had 9. How many layers are in the stack if the bottom layer has 81 glasses?

Please though - like any good cacher - do not tear up the area. No digging in plants or lifting up concrete slabs. In fact - stay clear of all plants in the area. The cache isn't there. You can easily reach the cache with without moving any obstacles or excessive reaching.

Bring your own pen for this micro. I highly recommend coming during daylight hours but it can be found at all times. Permission has been granted by the local business owner.

Thanks to "the3Gmen" for pointing me at this wonderful tool: GeoChecker.com. You can check your answers there before searching.
