Geocache Description:


This cache is not at the posted coordinates- And that is the truth!

..   -- / -   .   .-..   .-..   ..   -.   --. / -.--   ---   ..- / .- / ..-.   ..   -... 

This will be a veRy easy cache...  Just Kidding! I was telling you a fib.

A lie or a fib is a statement known by its source to be misleading, inaccurate or false, like if we were to tell you that this cachE is a five gallon bucket in a birch tree. It is not. That wouldn't be a difficulty five would it? While fibs are usually unimportant lies they still are deceiving. This puzzle will Deceive you, or maybe not. Who knows if we are fibbing? We told you we are telling you a fib. MuhahaHaha!

You can find the cache coordinates by solving the following:

N(11-8+2) (7+10+3). (15+11+7+5)

E(9-7-5) (6X5+7). (17-14-11-7+2)

What???  To help you out we are going to give you a chart of answers to some of the questions you may be having. HowEver, we are going to fib again.

Facts:

- Math is involved

- Bedmas shouldn't be performed

Fibs:

- these are the correct numbers you should use in the math

- the cache is hidden at the correct solved coordinates from above

That's Right! Even with the solved equation using the correct numbers you won't find the cache. You will however find a place that is related to the puzzle. We won't tell you how as when you have found the correct decription method it will all make sense. Take the name of this place and conveRt the letters into their corresponding numerical value. (So A=1) and then add all the numbers together. You will come up with a three digIt number. That will be your Keyword to the cache. And once you type that correct keyword into the geochecker you will be rewarded with the cache's coordinates.

A different type of puzzle and hopefully a difficult one. Hope this one will help out some fellow cachers with their August souveNir.  Watch out for red herrings in the puzzle. The final cache is a bison tube so BYOP! And if anyone needs help just remember  this:

Remember the name,

This cache is a Game,

For the souvenir we hope we made you pumped,

As this cache is not meant to have you stumped,

We tell you lots of fibs to add to the difficulty,

But by following the facts and thinking it should all be okay,

A three digit number is all you need,

To get the cache's coords and succeed!

 


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
