Sgt Stitches entered the barracks in a rush. “ Lt Happy Camper is on the way and wants the numbers 0-9 put in order ASAP!” roared Sgt Stitches to Cpl Kiwi.
“Yes Sergeant!” responded Cpl Kiwi. Cpl Kiwi swiftly bent over his tray of numbers and started putting the numbers in order. Sgt Stitches looked over the Corporal’s shoulder and saw that Cpl Kiwi had arranged five of the numbers like this:
“What kind of order is that!” exclaimed Sgt Stitches.
“The army kind of order, Sergeant!”, replied Cpl Kiwi.
“Son, that is the worst ordering of numbers I’ve ever seen. Drop and give me twenty!”
“But, Sergeant,” Cpl Kiwi replied, waving a camouflage bound book, “it’s spelled out right here in the manual… this is the way I’m supposed to put the numbers in order!”
Just then, Lt Happy Camper entered the barracks. She looked down at the numbers on the tray and said, “Good job Cpl Kiwi. I see you’ve started ordering those numbers just the way I asked you to. Now finish up, I need those numbers to place a cache for one of our recon platoons in San Jose. Sergeant, as soon as the Corporal is finished, I want you to hide the cache for me.”
Sgt Stitches looked at the numbers once again bewildered. “I still don’t know where you want me to hide the cache, sir”
“Hide the cache here.” said Lt Happy camper and gave Sgt Stitches a piece of paper with the following written on it:
North 37 IC.IGD
West 121 BG.JHJ
Sgt Stitches still looked bewildered.
“Come on sergeant, surely the order of those numbers make sense to you! The manual specifically spells out how to put those ten numbers in order. Here, I’ll fill in the numbers … and while I do that … drop and give me twenty!”
Cache is approx 4 in diameter by .75 inches tall. Cache contains a FTF prize of a Geocaching.com logo compass keychain, a log sheet and a pencil. Also contains a silly plastic crab.
