Granny Road runs from Farmingville to Yaphank. Have you ever wondered why it's called Granny Road. According to tradition Granny Penny was a midwife or doctress who delivered babies, fixed bones and made her own medicines. It was a common sight to see Granny flying down the road on her white horse racing to help a neighbor.
The cache is located in a complex of athletic fields. Using the hint you should be able to find the cache without following all the directions but since there are in excess of 40 of these in the park and it may take a while. It is strongly suggested due to the muggle factor that you do the simple math required below while in the parking lot and then take a casual walk to pick up the cache. All of the information you need except for the facts about those curiously strong candies are within 150 feet of the center of the parking lot.
The cache is located at N 40*50.abc, W72*57.cde
A = the number of light poles lighting the parking lot.
B = the number of handicapped parking spots plus the number of lights illuminating the basketball court.
C= The light poles surrounding the parking lot all have numbers on them facing the parking area. Add the numbers on the light poles for the parking lot and divide by the number of light poles.
D = The square root of the number of servings in one of those Square 1.76 oz. little curiously strong candy containers. The answer is a whole number. D also ='s the prime number in the following group of numbers 4,9,5.
E = The number of pieces in a serving size of those curiously strong candies plus the number of grams of sugar in the serving. E also ='s the legal speed limit on Rt. 495 West of Rt. 112 divided by eleven.
