Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are not correct. To find the correct coordinates you'll have to solve the puzzle below. The cache is meant to be easy to find and is probably best to find later in the day as it is in a high muggle area. There are plenty of streetlights in the area so there shouldn't any problems finding this in the cover of darkness for those caching in the fall/winter

I'd like to think great music exists in every genre, and that music in every genre can inspire. Mind.in.a.box, for the industrial music genre, has been a band that has inspired me with their music for years. I'd like this series of caches to get people to remember the music that inspired them in the past and continues to inspire them today. So feel free to write in the log book or online what has inspired you.
To calculate the coordinates you must use the 3 clues you have found in Lost Alone, Dreamweb, and Crossroads as well as a little bit of online research. To find the final coordinates you must solve for the following letter:
A = # of full length Mind.in.a.box albums plus 3
B = track # from clue in Lost Alone minus 1
C = track # from clue in Dreamweb plus 5
D = track # from clue in Crossroads plus 1
EF = add up the digits from the year of Mind.in.a.box's first live show and add 55
The cache can be found at: N49 05.ABC W122 37.DEF
For the FTF the person can pick between a mix cd I made of some of my favourite Mind.in.a.box songs from the 3 albums in the series or something else they can use to appreciate good music. If someone nabs the cd could they please let me know as I'll try to place a fresh one in the cache from time to time.
Grats to Adroit Seeker for the FTF, PhilatSea must be...um...at sea.... ;)
