The year 2014 marks the debut of Fudgy Fest Five! Fudgy Fest celebrates my favourite cacher: el_fudgeeo!
El_fudgeeo started this as a way to give back to the caching community for all the caches that have been hidden in and around Saskatoon. So thanks - even for the ones I can't find. These caches get published on one special day of the year - can you guess what makes it special?
This year there are 52 caches hidden for Fudgy Fest. Each one is assigned a card from a standard Bridge deck of playing cards. Your challenge is to get the best poker hand you can. However, only I know which card is assigned to which cache. So the first 5 FFV (Fudgy Fest V) caches that you log on the geocaching.com website become your hand.
So find some caches and log them. You have until September 5 2014 to log your finds and then the winners will be revealed. Remember that valuable prizes are up for grabs, as well as Fame, Glory and the undying admiration of your fellow geocachers.
The Cache is Not at the Posted Co-ordinates
Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card is a favourite of mine. I wondered how long it would take before it became a movie. I think the movie followed the book as much as possible, but let's face it - there is a big time span in the book, and it would have been difficult to capture that all in the movie.
I used the book to sort out this puzzle, so if you might need to check it for details.
A = How many siblings does Andrew have?
B = What did the bullies call Andrew in school?
C = How old was Andrew when he faced Stilson?
D = How big a circle (in inches) does the training light gun make at 100 metres?
E = How many choices of liquid does the Giant give a player?
F = How many battlerooms are there?
G = How old were children supposed to be before they got promoted out of their launch group?
H = What did Andrew do to Colonel Graff on the shuttle flight?
- 1. Vomited on his uniform. H=1
- 2. Made him stand on his head. H=0
- 3. Got him to climb the ladder upside-down. H=2
- 4. Accidentally broke his arm. H=6
I = How many soldiers does it take to perform the victory ritual in the battleroom?
J = How old was Andrew when he played his 4th game with Salamander Army?
K = When Andrew transferred into Rat Army, what place did they hold in the rankings?
L = How old was Valentine when Peter told her that he had been tracking Russian troop movements?
M = When Andrew took command of Dragon Army, he ordered them to practice and gave them 3 minutes to dress. How many were completely naked at the end of their 3 minutes?
N = Andrew created how many "toons" for Dragon Army?
