GC1GK0G - WSQ A Bleek Knight in Camelot
By: Lander & Lancelot
1. Here is the puzzle.
Posted Coordinates: N 44° 27.592, W 088° 27.064
Geocache Description:
The cache is not located on or near any markers in the cemetery. Please respect any family members there to visit the residents there in.
After a less than stellar day's hunting at Sir Dinadan's Hunting Ground, the knights relaxed in front of the fire in the keeping room, discussing their only trophy for the day which was a stag shot by Sir Ector. Spirits lifted as they regaled each other with stories of victories past and planned for the morrow's venture. Having grown accustomed to gatherings such as this, a buxom maiden with flaxen hair filled their tankards, while tolerating their playful advances.
As the evening wore on, and the mead flowed freely, Sir DePew needed to relieve his bladder before he floated away. Torchlight lit the stairs as he climbed to the second story to make use of the garderobe (the medieval privy). Stepping into the dark room, his foot stumbled over a jutting piece of stone on the floor, sending him headlong down the long refuse tunnel (which unfortunately had not been scrubbed for several weeks). Shooting headfirst into the moat, he met his death. (Let's face it - the smell alone would have killed him!)

Believing the man had gone off to bed, the others did not seek him. Several days later when the moat was flushed out with fresh water from Black Creek, his body was discovered.
It was indeed a bleek knight for Sir DePew.
At the final resting place, please solve for the following: N44° 27.ABC and W088° 27.XYZ.
Look for Adeline and Joachim.
A = the day that Adeline and Joachim died.
B = the month that Adeline and Joachim were born.
C = the difference in days between their birthday.
X = the difference in the year Adeline was born, and the year Joachim was born.
YZ = the age of Adeline when she died.
Located at the St. Johns United Church of Christ Cemetery outside of Black Creek.

Use Find A Grave to solve the puzzle.
Joaquim Bleek: Find A Grave Memorial #149208782
Adeline Bleek: Find A Grave Memorial #149208765
A = the day that Adeline and Joachim died = (Aug 6, Nov 6)
A = 6
B = the month that Adeline and Joachim were born = February
B = 2
C = the difference in days between their birthday = (26th, 27th)
C = 1
X = the difference in the year Adeline was born, and the year Joachim was born = same
X = 0
YZ = the age of Adeline when she died = (1852 - 1923) = 71
YZ = 71
Final Coordinates: N 44° 27.621, W 088° 27.071
3. Verify the solved coordinates.
