The first 5 people to find this cache at the event will find sheets
inside the logbook with "1st to find" etc.. written on them. Bring
them back to HomerJFong to get a little prize.
This cache is based on the classic TV game show, The Match Game.
In particular, it is based on the Audience Match. It involved the
contestant being presented with a simple phrase such as "-BLANK-
BEAR". This phrase was given to a previous audinece at the show,
and the top 3 answers were hidden behind the board. The contestant
took suggestions from 3 of the 6 celebrities (which could include
'Polar', 'Yogi' and 'Grizzly'). The contestant could then use one
of their suggestions or go out on their own. The contestant
received $100 for the third-most-often given answer, $250 for the
second, or $500 for the most popular answer.
For this cache, I'm presenting you with 8 Audience Matches that
were used during the 70's run of the show. You're trying to find
the $500.00 response. I'll give you two potential options for the
$500.00. Your job is to pick which one of the two it is, and attach
the associated number to determine the cache. The options include
the $500.00 option and either the $100.00 option or one suggested
by the celebrities or the contestant that didn't make the list.
Cache is at:
43.2A.000
80.20.000
Sample puzzle:
A: Florence (BLANK)
Nightingale = 2, Italy = 4
If you think A is the $500.00 response, place the number 2 in
the A spot. If you think it was Italy, then place the number 4 in
the A slot.
For what it is worth, the correct answer was Nightingale. With
that, you can find the cache at 43.22.000, 80.20.000, which is
nowhere near the actual location.
The cache is located at:
43.2A.BCD 80.2E.FGH
Remember, all of these are from Match Game episodes that were
originally broadcast in the 70s. I'll try to avoid ones that are
too obscure.
A: Ring Around The (BLANK)
Moon = 7, Collar = 8
B: (BLANK) Plant
Trans = 2, Egg = 3
C: Tumble (BLANK)
Down = 5, Weed = 7
D: Gene (BLANK)
Rayburn = 5, Krupa = 9
E: (BLANK) Biscuit
Buttermilk = 8, Sea = 9
F: (BLANK) Your Hands
Wash = 7, Kiss = 8
G: Snap (BLANK)
Judgement = 4, Crackle & Pop = 7
H: I Got You (BLANK)
Babe = 1, Covered = 8
The cache is a peanut butter container wrapped in camo tape. You
should be able to see the Expressway from where the final is.
