Geocache Description:

This cache is NOT at the posted coordinates! You will need to solve a puzzle first.

The cache is located in a nearby park with easy access to parking. This is a "DAYLIGHT ONLY" cache. Since I work in construction, I use these types of conversions every day.

Congratulations to Nsshaggy84 on FTF!


We are building a new skyscraper and need to figure out how many courses of cement block there will be. A cement block is 8 inches high and 16 inches long.

There will be three stages of construction. In each stage, you are given a height or length to reach. You will need to know how many courses there are in each height, and how many block there are in each length. Round up all answers to the nearest whole number.

A = 26 feet, 8 inches high
B = 1 foot, 4 inches high
C = 256 feet, 8 inches high

D = 101 feet, 4 inches long
E = 26 feet, 8 inches long
F = 756 feet, 0 inches long

North A° B.C
West D° E.F
