Geocache Description:

The correct coordinates are N35°06.xxx, W89°55.yyy


Wanna see some Magic?

Pick a number from the matrix below.

71 64 80 66 106 52 68 82
77 70 86 72 112 58 74 88
69 62 78 64 104 50 66 80
73 66 82 68 108 54 70 84
70 63 79 65 105 51 67 81
107 100 116 102 142 88 104 118
140 133 149 135 175 121 137 151
89 82 98 84 124 70 86 100


Pick any number you want. Don't let me influence you. Circle it. Now cross out every number above, below, right and left from the circle discarding it. Now pick another number you want that is not circled or crossed out and circle it and again cross out every number above, below, left and right from it. Repeat until there is nothing left. Now the magic part. See all the circled numbers you picked? Add them all together and puff!

The card you picked is the Queen of Hearts!!

Seriously, the result is your xxx coordinate. You picked the numbers so don't blame me if you don't find anything.

Wanna try it again? Do the same with the matrix below, the result will be your yyy coordinate

74 67 72 76 42 64 87 55
64 57 62 66 32 54 77 45
85 78 83 87 53 75 98 66
60 53 58 62 28 50 73 41
57 50 55 59 25 47 70 38
100 93 98 102 68 90 113 81
58 51 56 60 26 48 71 39
83 76 81 85 51 73 96 64
