Description
Let the reindeer games begin.....!
This mystery cache IS NOT at the posted coordinates. To find GZ you will need to answer a few questions about Santa's reindeer. There is a song which gets quite a bit of airplay at this time of the year about a particular reindeer. Could it be thathat this reindeer was a result of an early attempt at genetic engineering? I don't think so! I think the message we should take from the song is that we are all different in our own way and we all have something to contribute. I guess that's one of the great things about caching, there is something for everyone.
Now on to the puzzle. GZ can be found at S35 1A.BD(F-B-A) E149 AF.(B+E)(D+E)(A+C+D+E), where:
A = The number of reindeer whose names begin with A.
B = The number of reindeer whose names begin with B.
C = The number of reindeer whose names begin with C.
D = The number of reindeer whose names begin with D.
E = The number of reindeer whose names begin with letters other than A, B, C or D.
F = The total number of reindeer mentioned in the song.
Now get out there and jingle those bells! Oh, wait, that's the wrong song. You know what I mean though. Don't you?
And don't forget to check your calculations on the Coords Checker.

Loved the puzzle. Easy find once at GZ. TFTC.
Wrapped up the working week then picked up minniek for another short walk in the Goo for a cache. Interesting to see the last finders were school children as per the logbook ! All good with the cache.
TFTC LL !
There were that many reindeer.....oops, shows how much I remembered from my childhood. Another walk past a cache of mine and a little further to help lose that Christmas pudding. Arrived to GZ to find a very familiar style of container....good to see someone else cleaning up. Log signed, cache replaced and all was good...
Thanks LL.....neat little puzzle.
TFTC Danny!
