Cache has disappeared. Looks like it was forcibly removed. I'm not going to replace it.
Congratulations to those who found it during its 10-month life, and apologies to wellofsou0 who tried to find it after it had gone AWOL.

Had to sit waiting for it to open, but once in had the answer within 15 minutes. Found GZ with Rudi63, what an obvious cache. Fantastic. TFTH SL TNLN
Coffee shop below the house of Knowledge is worth a try, if like us, you have to await openning times. The clues are good and Wal and I had the final co-ords in quicktime. This is the most exposed cache I have every seen, great idea....SL TNLN TFTH
Log book temporarily removed due to dampness. I had incorrectly assumed that the cache box would be waterproof. D'oh!
This won't prevent finding of the cahce and opening of the cache box, but you won't be able to sign for the moment.

Luckily for us the House of Knowledge was open on a few hours on Sunday, so we went off to find other caches in the area until it opened for business.
The rain had bucketed down around here today, and the cache was wet, and the log was very damp. It may need some TLC and a baggie for the log. Also a hole in the base of the cache container may be useful.
All in all, a most unusual way of cache hunting, thanks for the hunt.

Great little puzzle to get the brain working and an awesome cache. TNLNSL. TFTC!
This is quite easily my favourite multi-cache of all time, and what better way to do it than with friends, one of whom is now a cacher. The first step was fairly straight forward after we understood what needed to be done and soon after coordinates were obtained we were on our way to GZ in the hopes of obtaining the prize. A novel container idea as well, thanks very much for the adventure. TNLN.
Liked this one a lot! Combination of "research" and a location not immediately given away was very good! Like the location of the cache too, v good. TNLN

Made my way to the said area of knowledge and started my search. I had a hunch on what was involved in the waypoints collecting unfortunately when GSAK turns this page into a GPX file the Garmin Oregon overlays some of the information and as I struggled to make sense of all the meaningless reference numbers I phoned a friend in Burkey Turkeys.
He was not much help having admitted that it was his wife that was the brains trust however he gave me enough "nerve" to ask for assistance. The lady who was already familiar with the activity of geocaching (if only a little) was only too happy to assist and casually wandered from section to section helping me gather the info I required.
Once done I whacked the co-ords in and found the location I required. Bidding farewell and thanks to the lady for all her help I made my way to GZ and found the container but again the wording had mucked up on the Garmin and I could not decipher what I was supposed to do. A quick call to another trusted caching buddy in Deputy Dog and I was soon punching in the right numbers. The 3 Investigators are to be applauded, an astonishing amount of work has gone into this cache. Thankyou for all your effort. Well worth it.

Looked through the books again, and although still unsure, I visited the likely coordinates anyway. The nagging sensation that the cache was 'over there' fired halfway down a darkened street, and the induction loop was opened at 19:08. It now also contains a small swap in the form of a rubber apple.
126 - A real ripper of an idea! After having 'researched' quite a diverse range of topics to get the required info I set off to the final waypoint and was promptly rewarded. Great cache gang. TFTC
Wow! What a cool cache! Hunted down the clues at lunchtime and then visited the cache after work. I was wondering why it was called Induction Loop!! I appreciate the effort that went into making this one, great!

This was remarkably easy once I has solved the clues. Hint, don't try using another source other than that stated, it won't work.
I have seen this type of cache before but only in it's proper role. Love the log book too.
Well done to The 3 Investigators, another great cache.

Got the numbers today. I only have two digits for E, therefore I have two different final coordinates.. and both point to places that I'm not sure I should be strolling around in.
Woo Bloody Hoo FTF !!!!
This one is really clever - a super big thumbs up for The 3 Investigators. We loved their Upstanding Citizens of Chatswood and we loved this one too - fabulous concept - brilliantly inventive !!!
What a hectic morning .....
Geo-son and I left home at 6am to belt down to Wandering Wilkos new cache "Lead Hand, Hook Out" in Castle Cove - Woo Hoo FTF, then out to Skyejam's "The City of Ryde", down to Chanlord's "Easterly Find" at Mascot, back to North Sydney to drop geo-boy at school, and up to Chatswood to meet the Geo-wife and await the opening of "Induction Loop's" WP1.
One inside WP1 we divided and conquered - she got some ... I got some - reforming a couple of minutes later with the appropriate reference material to work out the WP2 co-ords.
Out the door and off to the GZ. What a great little "final" container. Never seen one of these before.
All in all, a thoroughly satisfying caching experience .... awesome !!! Definately keep them coming !!!

I like it. And very close to work. Now what are the chances of me being able to try for a FTF at lunchtime tomorrow (or sneak off in the morning). Hmmm. Hope I don't get called somewhere else on a service call!
