HAVE YOU HEARD OF THE "NEW MATH"?

My son brought home some pretty interesting math homework the other night. It took me FOREVER to figure it out. I have printed the problems here. If you can solve them, they will give you coordinates which are in standard format.

The container, which was provided by zgrav is spectacular and well camo'd. It holds only a log, so BYOP.

The final destination should provide you some peace. There may be a need for CITO at and/or approaching GZ, from time to time. There are also activities for kids and dogs, and picnic facilities near the cache. The path is fairly easy to navigate, but won't accomodate bikes or strollers.

The hint will lead you to something that can help you with this homework. Visit Math? Cache Geocoin Helper for more information.

However, maybe you are some kind of a math whiz and can figure it out on your own. If you do you use the help, please log as such.


Here are the math problems that will give you the coordinates:

11 + 12 =

14 + 14 =

42 - 21 - 22 =

22 - 22 =

51 - 41 =

21 - 11 =

15 - 13 =

12 + 15 =

43 - 31 =

11 + 14 =

44 - 42 =

12 + 13 + 12 =

33 - 15 - 12 =

Congratulations to flowerman on being FTF.
