Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORD'S. SOLVE THE PUZZLE TO GET TO THE FINAL!

The Shining is a 1977 horror novel by American author Stephen King. The title was inspired by the John Lennon song "Instant Karma!", which contained the line "We all shine on…". It was King's third published novel, and first hardback bestseller, and the success of the book firmly established King as a preeminent author in the horror genre. A film based upon the book, The Shining directed by Stanley Kubrick, was released in 1980. The book was later adapted into a television mini-series in 1997.

Jack Torrance is a recovering alcoholic and aspiring writer, attempting to rebuild his life after previously breaking his son's arm and assaulting a pupil at a Vermont prep school where he was a teacher. After losing his teaching position and giving up drinking, Jack accepts a job as a winter caretaker at the Overlook Hotel, an isolated resort in Colorado. Jack hopes that the seclusion will help him reconnect with his family and write a new play. Jack, his wife Wendy, and their clairvoyant son, Danny, move into the Overlook.

Danny's abilities make him sensitive to supernatural forces. Shortly after the family's arrival at the Overlook, Danny and the hotel's chef, Dick Hallorann, talk privately to discuss Danny's talent and the hotel's sinister nature. Dick informs Danny that he shares Danny's abilities (though to a lesser degree), as did Dick's grandmother, who called it "shining". Dick warns Danny to avoid Room 217, but assures him that the things he may see are merely pictures which cannot harm him. Dick urges Danny to contact him through the shining should trouble arise.

Danny has gotten scared of what may happen to his family and knows that the evil in the hotel has hidden an item somewhere in it. You job will be to find that item.

NOW FOR THE PUZZLE:

ONCE AGAIN YOU WILL HAVE TO GET A COPY OF THE BOOK TO FIGURE THIS ONE OUT!!!

Using only the chapter names, find the following chapters and do the required math to get your answers. Example if clue was Jack - 4 you would find out what chapter number has the title Jack and if that was 31 you would then subtract 4 from that to give you 27 as your answer. Got it, OK! Here's the puzzle:

Wendy - 4 = A
Jack - 46 = B
Tony - 40 = C
Wendy and Jack + "It Was Her" + Watson = D
2nd Danny Chapter - 16 = E
Halloran + 1 = F
1st Danny Chapter - 15 = G
The Shining - 2 = H
Wendy - 45 = I

and the Final is at North A E.HC and West D F.IGB
