You should come upon a white and blue message board page. Use the
Log In button at the top right of the page, and use the
following:
Username: Geocache
Password: geocaching

- It will ask you for a password to access the page, the password
is what you got in Form #2.
- Click on "Puzzle Time!" underneath "Important Topics". This
will give you Lat/Lon coordinates.
- Add up all the numbers you got for answers of questions
1-9.
- Divide this number by 1000
- Subtract that number from the Latitude coordinate listed in the
topic you just got to. This should give you the correct
latitude coordinate to find the final cache by. For example; if the
coordinate listed is 42.123456 and you get .123 after step 9,
subtract .123 from 42.123456 and get 42.000456.
- Add up all the numbers you got for answers of questions
10-18.
- Divide this number by 1000
- Subtract that number from the Longitude coordinate listed in
the topic you got to. This should give you the correct
longitude coordinate to find the final cache by.
- You know what to do now, put the coordinates into your GPS.
