"" Hooked On Hortons ""
There is no starting point to this
cache. The noted coordinates are for reference only .Out ‘n About has concocted
a little puzzle in order for those of us that are not familiar with
coffee and caching to get a little more familiar. As of the date
this Cache was posted, there are no fewer than thirteen Tim Hortons
locations south of Goldstream Park not including Sooke. That’s the
same amount of digits in local UTM coordinates. You will need to
visit them all in order to solve this “Mystery Cache“. If we have
missed a location, or new ones come to be, they will only add to the
fun of the puzzle. |
 |
NOTE: Please read “all instructions” before attempting so that you
don’t have to return to the locations more than once!!! The location of the
actual cache, at the final coordinates, does not have anything to do with
Tim Hortons. There is absolutely no need to enter a coffee serving
establishment
as all hints are on objects that have nothing to do with a business.
Although not necessary, it is advised that a vehicle be used while playing
with this cache.
Each location can be visited in any order and at any time of the day or
night. You will have to figure out which clue will be needed at which
location. Match the clue with the location and proceed from there. All
reference points will be visited on a regular basis to ensure accuracy. No
two locations will have the same hint. (eg. A bike rack with a number that
ends in five, and sign that contains two sixes)

weight.

address number from the last four digits of the Serial No:
3) The four digit
number squared (multiplied by itself) minus the number of the address
squared (multiplied by itself). Now, divide your answer by 144.
