You have been chosen by the Geocaching Secret Service to be a candidate to join their highly covert organization. To prove you are up to the job, you must perform well on four tasks assigned by your leader.
The third trial, organized by the G.S.S. Surveillance Department will test your ability to closely observe an enemy agent.
The photo below was taken with a secret spy camera. The photo was damaged during a scuffle with the enemy. Can you identify the parts of the photo which were damaged? Examine it closely!
Count the number of things that are missing in the image. This number will be “X.”
Use that number to calculate the secret coordinates to complete your third mission
(and find the Mission #3 cache!)
Use X in the following equations:
X – 3 = A
X – 1 = B
X – 5 = C
Substitute your answers for A, B and C in the following final cache coordinates:
32 AB.CAB N
117 00.A4A W
Good Luck, Spy kids…!
(You can verify your calculations in the hint section below)
You can continue your assessment for possible employment by G.S.S. by visiting
“Spy Kids...Mission # 1 - Decryption"

“Spy Kids...Mission # 2 - Navigation"
“Spy Kids...Mission # 4 - Forensics"

Your leader demands secrecy! Be discrete and beware of enemy agents!
Note: This puzzle cache was designed for kids, however, young-at-heart adults are encouraged to join the G.S.S. also.
Final cache is a micro. Bring a pen. Please be stealthy - this is a muggle-filled location!
