Geocache Description:


Please don’t visit the above co-ordinates. These are irrelevant to the puzzle although meaningful to the birthday boy.

As it is his 40th birthday, I think I should embarrass him by telling you about his school days. He wasn’t very good at English and never loved his ABC lessons. He always had to reach for the dictionary to spell difficult words. However his love for maths shone through and even in those English lessons he was often caught counting letters. He was also pretty useless at games; his PE teacher thought his running style was a throwback to the 30’s.

Little did his teachers know that 30 years later he would apply his maths skills to find Tupperware hidden in bushes!

Enough of my ramblings here are the coordinates for the cache.



Apollo = A

Nixon = B

Beatles = C

Pele = D

Halfpenny = E

Meir = F

The final cache can be found at:

N51 21. ((C+D+3)*B)+E-A-1

W000 16.(E*F)-B



Happy 40th Birthday
