(Note: in response to popular demand, the clue for D below has been made simpler - June 16, 2009)

This is a six-stage cache that will take you on a stroll to interesting spots in and around Whistler Village. It can be done completely on foot and should take about an hour. Bring a pen, paper and a print-out for the simple arithmetic involved in the clues. If there is lots of snow around, boots are recommended - the final location involves a very short walk in the snow.

All waypoints are N 50 and W 122. Where you see brackets below, simply find the number in the brackets and use its digits in the co-ordinates: for example, 7.2(12+19+4) would become 7.235.

Proceed to 7.116 56.803
Number in a name? Let A be the single-digit number.

Proceed to 6.9(A+8) 57.0(A*A)
B is the number of squares.

Proceed to 6.A(B+16) 57.2(A+B+4)
C is the number of towers.

Proceed to 7.0(C-A-30) 57.2(A+C+29)
D is the number of performers who could play their electrical guitars here.

Proceed to 7.0(A+B+D-1) 57.(A+B+C+D+164)
If you can spin it, count it. E is the count.

Final Location:
7.0(C+D) 57.5(B+E)

Cache is a small green lock & lock with logbook and pencil. It is able to hold geocoins, small TBs and small objects. Please replace it at the exact spot and with as tight a fit as you found it. Thank you for visiting.

Congratulations to whistlerzuki on being the First to Find.

Great tour of Whister! All the coordinates were dead on, except the last stage, which seemed to be 20 metres off or so. Maybe my calculations were wrong, but I did find it! TFTC!

Found this while in town for the Math conference. Did most of the stages the night before, but ran out of light to complete it. Returned the next evening with a headlamp and better shoes to finish up the cache. TN, L Grey Owl's geocoin and umbrella. Got half way back to my hotel when I realized that I didn't have the hotel's umbrella. Returned to the cache site to search for the umbrella (which proved to be a little harder than the cache, as I didn't have coordinates for the umbrella!) TFTC.

Great cache. Grabbed the clues going from conference sites. WingSaber helped me out with this one. TFTH as it is always nice to have a tour of the local area.

A nice walk around the area and all of the clues were dead on except for the last one. Like some others my coords were off by 20 m or so to the south. I measured the final location and if the final clue was changed to 7.0(C+D+10) it would be perfect. Thanks for the fun. TNLN
