Geocache Description:


Number 13. Unlucky for some!

Many software engineers like to eat cake. Sitting around all day doing computery geeky stuff, what with all that grepping and awking, there often isn’t time to get a proper meal. An unlucky chef I once knew brought in a whole array of gateaux to the office. What a cacophony; calorific or what! Deduce an order from the dessert menu below and then you should have some numbers.

  • A = root beer float
  • B = strawberry shortcake
  • C = coconut custard pie
  • D = birthday cake
  • E = chocolate cream pie
  • F = fancy fruit cake
  • G = chocolate layer cake
  • H = raspberry pudding dessert
  • I = wedding cake
  • J = pumpkin pie

The cache can be found at N51 2(H-I).(G-[FxE]) W001 (C+B).(B)(A+D)(J)
