Geocache Description:

The above co-ordinates are not for the cache site . They are for nearby Tonbridge town centre

Mole has a nan who loves problems and gave this one to her grandson to work out.

She said
"Today I am exactly 3 times your age.
8 years ago you were a quarter of my age.
20 years ago I was 13 times your age
and in 24 years time you will be half my age.
Now can you work out how old I am"

Well to solve this problem you will have to work out how old both Nan and Mole are now.

Once you have done that consider the following :-

How old was Nan when Mole was 19? = AB
When nan is 93 how old would Mole be? = CD
How old was mole when nan was 59? = EF
When nan was 68 hold old was Mole? = GH
When Mole was 23 how old was nan? = JK

The cache location is at N51 EK.BCA E000 FJ.H(D-E)(C*G)

Please be very careful when searching for this cache it is in an open public location and can be easily dislodged.
The Cache log will only take a name or initials and date.
There is not enough room for a writing implement so be sure to take your own
