Geocache Description:

A simple puzzle cache placed during February 2007's Central Virginia Geocaching Association's "First Saturday" semi-informal gathering.

THE COORDINATES LISTED ABOVE DO NOT LEAD TO THE CACHE. YOU MUST DO A LITTLE HISTORICAL RESEARCH AND SOLVE THE WORD PROBLEMS BELOW TO OBTAIN THE COORDINATES.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

This cache was placed smack in the middle of an informal gathering of members of the Central Virginia Geocaching Association. Inertial and GeoLizVA slipped away from the rest of the group to place this latest addition to the CVGA First Saturday Series.

This is a Travel Bug Hotel. Please do not trade any other swag in this cache. This cache started with three Travel Bugs, so please do not leave this cache with fewer than three TBs enjoying their stay.

The First-to-Find prize is a $10 gift card to Wally World, supplier to geocachers everywhere!

Good luck!

N 37 31.ABC
W 077 31.XYZ

ABC = Divide XYZ by the number of U.S. Presidents born in the same month as this cache was placed, subtract this from the last three digits of the year of birth of the President born in Goochland County in reverse order, and subtract 190.

XYZ = Take the two SPECIAL DAYS of the month in which this cache was placed, add them together, and multiply by the cube root of 57066.625. By SPECIAL DAYS, I do NOT mean federal holidays or days with religious significance.
