ohjoy!: This location of this final has been compromised by machine. With so few searchers, I have decided to open up the spot for someone's new cache.

Geocache Description:

I placed a puzzle cache (x = what? - GC11KQP) almost three years ago, and to date it has had only 13 finders. I decided to place this much simpler one to whet your taste buds. I placed the posted coordinates in the same lake as the older one. (y not?)

North problems:

A ____ y = the total number of apples we would have if I had one apple and you had one apple.

B ____ y = the total number of apple quarters we would have if we each cut our apple into four pieces.

C ____ y = the total number of apple quarters we would have left if we each eat two quarters (I'm not talking money here.)

D ____ y = the total number of apples we would have if we could put the apple quarters remaining from question C back together.

West problems:

E ____ y = the total number of pomegranates that would be in the bowl if I put one pomegranate into that bowl and you put three pomegranates into that bowl.

F ____ y = the number of pomegranates I would have if I took back the one I placed in that bowl.

G ____ y = the number of pomegranate pieces you would have if you took back the pomegranates you placed in the bowl and cut each of them in half.

H ____ y = the total number of your pieces of pomegranates minus the number of my whole pomegranates.

You final coordinates are:

N 46* 5A.BCD W 122* 4E.FGH

There now, that wasn't too hard, was it?
