Geocache Description:




Well my geocaching friends, I've done my best to tutor you on some of the puzzle solving basics that I've learned along the way. Now it's your turn to take everything you've learned and put it into a practice solving the Final Exam. So let's review, you've learned about Digital Rooting, Moh's Scale of Mineral Hardness, The Periodic Table, Morse Code, Languages, Dates, Roman Numerals, Cryptography, Alpha/Numeric Substitution and Hidden in Plain Sight. So now that you are so much better prepared to go out into the caching world, here's your final exam. Oh yes and there are only two grades (PASS/FAIL), what will you do?

The Final Exam
The cache can be found at the following location

N 44 AB.CDE
W 075 FG.HIJ

A= 1,987,345,101
B= --...
C= Canadianzombonium
D= Talc
E= IX
F= 4
G= sieben
H= X
I= The Trial of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg Begins
J= Gur ahzore vf gjb, pbatengf

I hope you studied hard and passed your exam and remember, puzzles aren't that bad, you just need to know where to start.

Cheers
CZ
