Geocache Description:

Please help the Hanso Foundation in our first experiment dealing with Geocaching.

Professor DeGroot and Alvar Hanso have authorized a new branch of research at the Hanso Foundation. We have found that geocachers exhibit similar behavior to that of crack addicts.

We wish to observe the geocacher in his native environment and have thus issued this first experiment which we have termed "The human fishbowl".

We crashed a plane on an island in the South Pacific with hopes of the survivors participating in a large geocache experiment. Unfortunately, all the GPS devices on board were lost as were the Pocket Queries for the island. We haven't heard much from the survivors. I wonder if they're still there? who knows.

You will be observed by researchers from the Hanso Foundation as you obtain this cache. We will be noting your every move and monitoring your heartrate and vital signs with the latest technology. Beware of polar bears and mind-reading black smoke that has been known to inhabit the area.

Good luck!

NOTE: as a thank you to those who participate, we have included a 64MB thumb drive for the first person to find this cache!
