The above coordinates are FAKE. The cache is within two miles of the fake coordinates. Solve the puzzle to find the cache coordinates. If you have a high clearance vehicle, perhaps a 4x4, you will have a 0.25 mile walk on an excellent wide trail to the cache, otherwise, the walk will be at least twice that.
There have been a ‘number’ of puzzle caches (or is it a puzzle of number caches?). We have had caches named ‘FOUR’, ‘THREE’, and ‘TWO’, but I decided to make a quantum leap, skip ‘ONE’, and go directly to ‘ZERO’.
I did allow a really cool old friend of mine and fellow cacher from overseas, Bill Thomson, to ask a few questions about the cache, and the following answers should help you solve the puzzle.
Q – I’m not so hot on puzzle caches, can I solve it?
A – Absolutely! There is no real math involved at all, and you’re off to a really great start.
Q – Do I have to have any degree in math or science to solve this puzzle?
A – Absolutely not! Some people may be able to get the necessary answer from memory alone.
Q - Will Google help?
A – I would be tempted to say yes but the answer can be found many other places as well.
Q – I only got one 5 digit number for the answers. Are the answers for N and W the same?
A – Well, yes and no. Technically it is just one number, or value, but it depends how you read it, interpret it, or display it. Some people will ‘see’ it and others may ‘fail’ to see it.
You can check your answers for this puzzle (if it is in standard format) on Geochecker.com.
