By finding all pieces of the puzzle on one continent will give you enough information about the cache on another continent. But there are good news – traveling on each continent is in area which can be covered in less then two hours. So, if you will decide to do this cache as a team project, you can solve it in one weekend spending couple hours traveling around and couple minutes on internet. If you want to do it alone, it will require at least three days filled with intense traveling and it will cost you a bundle. (So, we recommend a team project.) However, if you want to see country you have never been to, we strongly recommend doing it alone.
Hint: As is evident from the title of the cache, this is the "twin" project, it means that there is just the oposite situation on the other continent - just find which continent, country and town and there may be geocacher ready to help you with this one.
So you start here:
N 33 09.594
W 117 21.127
What is the name of the sculptor? A = number of letters in his last name, X=First letter of his given name
What is his nationality? B = number of the first letter of his nationality
How many days before his birthday John Frazier died? C = number of days
Second point is at
N 32 43.A41
W 117 09.1B0
This point can be visited only Sunday’s afternoon. D = number of letters in the name of famous product of the town where Vaclav Lokvenc used to be a mayor. E = first digit, F = second digit
The third point is at
N 32 42.761
W 117 D.448
If you cannot guess the name of the town in which the final cache is located, your talent for solving mysteries is very supresssed. Z=Redundant letter
For the fourth point you have the choice of locations. All these shops (X??Z) sell the best ???? (the name of the product is hidden in the name found in the second point) in the world. Hint – the factory was founded in 18G2. G = third digit in the year the factory was established.
Fifth point is at
N 32 G6.G5B
W 117 1C.B5C
If you are into this kind of toys (tools), it will be easy to figure this one out. H = last digit in model year of the tool made in the country where final cache is located
Final cache is located close to the place where you can find pretty large American flag (visible from far away) at the location N/S ?? ??.EGG E/W ?? ??.FAH.
Important note: If you are prefering the team work, go and get all the clues, then contact the geocacher in the area where the final cache is located. Let him/her find the cache, then ask him/her to check the twin cache page and get all the clues for the final cache placed here. Once you will get them, you can find the cache here and both of you can log your finds.
Please note, that one cacher can help only to another one cacher, we are trying to encourage the cooperation among more people :)
If you feel the need to check the solved coordinates before sending your colleague overseas to the wrong place, you can always try to contact me, or geocachers who already solved the puzzle. They would certainly help as well (but only to confirm correctness of the coordinates, please).
Good luck!
