Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Solve the puzzle to determine the right coordinates. This is the sixth in a series for you to collect geobeads for your GPSr. You'll have to find the first 5 GeoBeads before you find this one. If you don't want to collect geobeads, please just sign the log. Please don't take a bead as a trade item.

This cache is only accessible to people who have collected GeoBeads 1-5. These questions should be easy to answer by cachers who have found all the beads and hopefully impossible for anyone who hasn't! Do the math and find the cache. This cache is easily accessible from the Stevens Creek Trail. You'll want to use the tool provided at the cache to avoid sticking your hands in dark places - please be sure to replace it.

A. How many beads were found on a bridge?
B. How many beads are spherical?
