I made this hide as difficult as I could without making it impossible. I wouldn’t be surprised if this one never gets found. The actual cache is not impossible to locate, once you have the final coordinates. You're looking for a MICRO cache. Probably smaller than the typical micro cache you're used to finding. Solving for the final coordinates will be the hard part.
Make sure and bring a calculator and paper. Counting and great attention to detail will be essential in solving this hide.
Each step will have you manipulate the clues you find in the real world with math. After making final calculations, you will always end up with a four digit number. Use the following two blank coordinates for entering those four digit numbers after every calculation.
N 44 5 _._ _ _
W 93 1 _._ _ _
You will be continually solving for the coordinates you are to advance to.
Go to the coordinates at the top of the page and start off with step 1 below. Good luck!
1) You will be standing on wooden planks. Count the total number of wooden planks that make up the surface you have just walked across. Cube that number. Minus 901 for the north coords. Add 2587 for the west coords. The answer to #1 is 18 boards. The pier went missing and I haven't been out to get a new answer.
2) Count the number of benches here. Multiply number of benches by 100. Add 5528 for north coords. Add 7821 for west coords.
3) At the base of a light pole you will find a box. Count the number of letters that make up the word in the center of that box. Cube that number. Add 4573 for north coords. Add 8322 for west coords.
4) Here you will be next to a wooden sign. Count how many times the letter R appears. Add this number to the number of boards you counted in step 1. Square that resultant. Add 4831 for north coords. Add 8013 for west coords.
5) Find out what’s not allowed here by reading a sign. Count the number of letters of that one word of that forbidden activity. Cube that number. Add 4461 for north coords. Add 7580 for west coords.
6) Here you will be standing in front of a house. Use the address of that house for this step. Add 424 for north coords. Add 3987 for west coords.
7) Here you must count the number of green money eaters in the general vicinity. Cube that number. Add 4581 for north coords. Add 7425 for west coords.
8) Count the number of stairs that make up this staircase (Hint: the number will be divisible by 4). Cube that number. Add 1538 for north coords. Add 4445 for west coords.
9) Here you must find the only small silver rectangle that has a symbol and letters on it. All but one have just letters. Count the number of letters on that unique rectangle. Add that number to
all the previous numbers counted, excluding step 6. Note: You will have to add eight numbers to get this total. Square that resultant. Minus 564 for the north coords. Add 2534 for the west coords.
These are the coordinates needed to locate the final cache. It’s a MICRO cache. Make sure and keep your feet firmly planted on a hard surface. There will be absolutely no bushwhacking needed to find it. Good luck!
