Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache where you need to solve middle school math problems in order to determine the location of the cache. The solution will be a spot along the ART: Ammonoosuc Rail Trail near other ART geocaches. The posted coordinates will bring you to the place where TeamMonroe works, and not too far (about 1.5 miles)from the actual cache.

The actual location of the cache is
N 44° A.BC W 71° D.EF

When you have solved for each of the letters, substitute the values in the coordinates shown.

A = the first (least) 2-digit perfect square number
B = solve for x: 3x - 13 = -2x + 22
C = the number of degrees in each angle of an equilateral triangle
D = 40% of 120
E = the complement of a 53° angle
F = the only even prime number, raised to the 3rd power

Congratulations to RobbytheRobot for FTF!
