This cache is NOT located at the posted coordinates but it IS
located within Kingston. The actual cache difficulty to find the
container is 1.5 however due to the number of puzzles to find it, I
have rated this as a 4.5.
About This Cache This cache is a tribute to ePeterson's
Florida-based
Puzzle Solving 101 Cache Series, republished in 2009 with
permission of the author on the
Kingston
Area Geocachers' website. This mid-term exam cache is a
Canadian reward for solving the first 9 caches in the series before
trying the final exam! Solving this series will definitely help you
build your puzzle-solving skills for attacking Kingston's plethora
of puzzle caches. Each puzzle contains a lesson focusing on a
specific skill, examples of how to use it, and an exercise to test
your new abilities. Study the lesson, complete the exercise, and
you'll find the location of a geocache (albeit in Florida). If
you've been paying attention to the lessons in this series, you
should have no trouble passing this local mid-term exam (without
having to travel south of the border!). Don't be afraid to try
anything you've learned. You may already have completed much of the
work for this cache as part of the puzzle solving tutorial posted
on the Kingston Area Geocacher's website over the past year. I hope
you kept your answers! If not, its never too late to start!
