Geocache Description:

This is not an advertisement for the farmers market and the story is completely made up

I was doing some cache maintence when I decided to hide another cache. I decided to do something about the farmers market. Worked up a nice little puzzle and placed a small lock and lock container full of trinkets and toys. Make sure to read the story carefully!

The Cordinates:

N 42 AB.CDD

W 71 09.616

Each letter repersents a different number.


There is no need to be on the other side of the fence , it is private property. The cache is easily retrievable from the public walking path.

Once upon a time, Timmy went to the Woburn Farmers Market to purchase some eggs. Timmy went up to Miss Gladys, to purchase a dozen eggs. After Timmy gave Miss Gladys the money and he received his dozen eggs, Timmy asked Miss Gladys how many eggs she thinks she has at home. Miss Gladys replied:

Son, I can't count past 100 but I know that.

If you divide the number of eggs by 2 there will be one egg left.

If you divide the number of eggs by 3 there will be one egg left.

If you divide the number of eggs by 4 there will be one egg left.

If you divide the number of eggs by 5 there will be one egg left.

If you divide the number of eggs by 6 there will be one egg left.

If you divide the number of eggs by 7 there will be one egg left.

If you divide the number of eggs by 8 there will be one egg left.

If you divide the number of eggs by 9 there will be one egg left.

If you divide the number of eggs by 10 there will be one egg left.

Finally. If you divide the number of eggs by 11 there will be NO EGGS left!

Timmy scratched his head wondering why he should even begin thinking about the answer when Miss Gladys mentioned that if you subtract the number of eggs she has from 25, 230.522 you will get the last five digets to the North portion of the geocache she has hid. Timmy raced home and began working on the answer to the problem. After a few tries, Timmy finally found a solution and raced off to find the cache. He found the cache easily and made sure to put ALL THE CAMO BACK. He asked me to share this puzzle with everyone and to cache safely. 

 

Good Luck and Good Caching,
