Geocache Description:

Another in the series of the Extremely popular Goon Show puzzle cache's, this short excerpt encapsulates the essence of the zany humour of the Goon Show, and once more forces you to endure the pain and suffering, to eke out the clues to the final!

GZ is a high muggle zone during working hrs, best to leave outside these hrs if possible,I have left the hints pretty plain as to where to make it easy to slip in and out.


BTW ignore above co-ords!--its not there.

Link click on here to listen to the short excerpt.

First of all, you must count the number of times "Paper" is mentioned and then how many times "8 o'clock" as well.
Having these figures will unlock the puzzle in the following way--- (they should be the same number --not 8 -;)

South--multiply that number x 50 and add the result to the last three Sth digits (048) CHEKSUM--- 20
East---multiply the same number x 30 and add that result to the last three digits of the East (282) Cheksum ---15

Funnily enough when I checked out the site out first, the time was -- 8 o'clock, one of lifes little coincidences I guess! (I know, because I wrote it down on a piece of paper)

Cache is a simple unadorned 35mm film can, logbook and pencil.

SPOILER!
