Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the listed coordinates. To find the cache you must solve the following problem.

"Jumbo shrimp" is an oxymoron, like "astronomically small" or "tiny mountain." It happens to also be a synonym for a more accurate description of this cache, which is also an oxymoron. You must determine that alternate description. Once you have, let A be the number of letters in the first word and B be the number of letters in the second word. The cache coordinates are an offset from the listed lat/long as follows:

Latitude Offset = +0.0AB

Longitude Offset = -0.0AB

The cache itself is a 35 mm film canister, so be sure to bring your own pen. It is located near a major grocery store. You can see the synonym for the first word from the listed coordinates of the cache.
