“Dr. Who” is a popular t'v series, which has been running for over 40 years. It has had a resurgence in it's popularity since it was relaunched a number of years ago. I know my teenager's love it!
It is listed in the “Guinness book of world records” as the longest running science fiction show of all time.
This cache is a fun way to acknowledge & pay tribute to that “great” series.
You will need to research the answers to the following questions, in order to work out the “actual” co-ordinates to find the cache.
S39 56. ABC E175 02. DEF
A= The last digit of the year “Dr. Who” was first played on t'v.
B= The first digit (+2) of the year the t'v programme was “relaunched”.
C= The number of years Peter Davison played “the Doctor”.
D= The number of times “the Doctor” had “regenerated” at time of publication (2011) (-2).
E= The number of letters in the name of the Doctors oldest foe (plural).
F= The number of letters in the surname of the actor who played “Dr. Who” (2012)
checksum- A+B+C+D+E+F= 29
Those who are not knowledgeable on “Dr. Who”, may also want to do a little research in order to understand the clue a little more. ( possible foes of “the Doctors”) However, you'll probably manage to find the cache without it, anyway. The cache is a small, well camo'd container. With room for small swaps only.
