Fill in the Blanks
Cache is not at the posted coordinates - you
must solve the puzzle to find the actual coordinates
Solving this puzzle is as easy as filling in the blanks with the
words associated with the given numbers. Once you've filled the
blanks, count up the number of letters in the answer to calculate
the correct coordinates.
For example:
24 h___ in a d___.
The correct answer is "24 hours in a day" so adding up the number
of letters gives you 5 (hours) + 3 (day) for the answer 8
Got it? Good. Let's go!

Final coordinates are N 38 ab.cde, W 122 fg.hij where:
ab=O-P-Q+R+S-T+U
cd=A+AC+AE+P-W-K-V
e=A+B+C-D-E+F-G-O+P
fg=H-I+J+K-L-M+N+AF-AE
h=AF+AG+AH-AC-AD-AE-AI-B
ij=V+W-X-Y-Z-AA+AB+F
I strongly suggest that you verify coords with me once you've
solved the puzzle :)
As an incentive to solve this puzzle, I've placed a pretty cool
FTF prize - an unregistered 2007 Compass Rose geocoin. These sold
out almost instantly, but I managed to grab one for this
cache.
