Do not go to the fake coordinates; they are on a power line through the pine bush behind private property. Got it? Good.
So the puzzle is simple enough - 10 questions, each having a number 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 as its answer. Oh, but the questions refer to each other. That might make things a little more interesting to solve, huh?
- There's only one pair of consecutive questions with a matching answer. What number was the matching answer?
(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 5.
- What question is the first to have "4" as its answer?
(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 5.
- How many times is "4" an answer to these 10 questions?
(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 5.
- What question is the first to have "1" as its answer?
(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 5.
- How many times is "5" an answer to these 10 questions?
(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 5.
- Which is the only answer that appears exactly once in these 10 questions?
(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 5.
- In only one case does the question number match the answer number. What number is that?
(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 5.
- How many times is "1" an answer to these 10 questions?
(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 5.
- What question is the first to have "2" as its answer?
(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 5.
- What is the right answer to this question?
(1) 1 (2) 2 (3) 3 (4) 4 (5) 5.
Once you have it solved, use the answers ([A1], [A2], [A3], ...,[A10]) to determine N 42° 4A.BCD' W 73° 5E.FGH'.
Note: I had botched the instructions after this point so there were 2 minor edits. If you got this far, the hard part is already behind you. See my log (19-May-2011) for specific details.
A=[A1]–[A3], "BCD"=3×[A3]×[A5]×[A6]×[A7], E=2×[A2]×[A8], "FG"=[A1]×[A9]×[A10], H=[A4]+[A7]
Also, I would hate not having a good place to start looking too, so here's the deal once you have coordinates: let the light guide you. 35mm. Now go get it.
