Geocache Description:

The posted coords will put you on the correct road to the cache site. Hopefully, this will be a fun logic puzzle for you to solve, followed by a 3-4 minute walk just off Highway 12 in Central Park.

Last week, four geocachers, named Squarehead, Chops, greaser76s and jkite arrived at separate cache sites by 4WD, motorcycle, bicycle and hiking. They found different numbers of caches last week, being 2, 4, 5 and 7. Each preferred different kinds of caches: they liked multicaches, microcaches, puzzle caches and regular caches. They also targeted caches which contained WJTB’s, geocoins, YJTB’s and GJTB’s. Based on the clues, match the geocachers with their means of travel, # of caches found last week, cache preference and targeted contents.

THE CLUES:
1. The regular cache lover looked for WJTB’s in all 5 of his finds.
2. The geocoin seeker went by 4WD and found 2 caches last week.
3. The puzzle loving motorcyclist yearned for YJTB’s.
4. Squarehead, Chops and greaser76s avoided microcaches.
5. Jkite disdained GJTB’s.
6. Chops always leaves YJTB’s alone.
7. Greaser76s liked neither yellow nor green jeep travel bugs.
8. The multicache afficianado did not like to hike and did not find 4 caches last week.

THE WORKTABLE:

Squarehead	Chops	greaser76s	jkite
1. multi 2. micro 3. puzzle 4. regular	multi micro puzzle regular	multi micro puzzle regular	multi micro puzzle regular
5. 4WD 6. motorcycle 7. bicycle 8. hiking	4WD motorcycle bicycle hiking	4WD motorcycle bicycle hiking	4WD motorcycle bicycle hiking
2 4 5 7	2 4 5 7	2 4 5 7	2 4 5 7
9. WJTB 10. geocoins 11. YJTB 12. GJTB	WJTB geocoins YJTB GJTB	WJTB geocoins YJTB GJTB	WJTB geocoins YJTB GJTB

THE SOLUTION:
*Note in the worktable that multi=1, micro=2, puzzle=3, etc. Figure the coords below based on this:
1. Chops' targeted contents minus Squarehead's # of caches found last week=A.
2. Greaser76s' targeted contents minus the # of caches he found last week=B.
3. Subtract jkite's preferred cache type from Squarehead's means of travel=C.
4. Jkite's targeted contents minus the # of caches he found last week minus greaser76s' means of travel=D.
5. Squarehead's preferred cache type=E.
6. Jkite's means of travel minus Chops preferred cache type=F.
7. Subtract Chops' # of caches found last week from his means of travel=G.
8. Squarehead's targeted contents minus greaser 76s' preferred cache type=H.
Now, plug your #s into this formula:
N46° 5A.BCD'
W 123° 4E.FGH'
