Geocache Description:

Number 6 of a Connection-style series of puzzle caches requiring a bit of lateral thinking. This one leads to an all too familiar magnetic BYOP final. The cache itself can be found at an appropriate location.

I have published one of this series for each of the last 6 months - I'm very happy to say that next month's OC will be from a different CO....



The rest of the series can be found by clicking on this link to the Only Connect bookmark list.

To solve this one, you need to work out how the below are connected. This is shamelessly pinched from the missing vowels round from the BBC programme whose name this cache series shares..
 

Simply work out the below, listed in chronological order of achievement:

A=DMBYNDSN

B=BLKHS

C=HRDTMS

D=TLFTWCTS

E=RMTLFRND

F=the number of letters in A.

G=the number of letters in B.

H=the number of letters in C.

I=the number of letters in D.

J=the number of letters in E.

K=the number of letters in the name (two words) of the person who connects all the above.

The cache can be found at : N54 58.Y W001 36.Z

Where Y = (J + F) x (K + G - H) and Z = K x G x (J - H) + I


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
