Geocache Description:

!!!! THIS CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES !!!!
This is my first attempt at building a puzzle cache i hope its ok

This cache is not at the posted coordinates. To find the right coordinates solve the problems below. Don’t worry they are not to hard, I’m blonde and I made them up. Maybe this cache should be called are you smarter than a blonde.

1- There are 360 seats at a concert hall. They can seat 90 people in each section. How many sections are there in the concert hall?

2- Say you have 30 apples and I have 30 apples. We decide to go to the farmers market and sell our apples together. At the end of the day we have sold a total of 59 apples how many do we have left ?

3- I found 49 geocaches in one week (7 days). On an average how many caches did I find a day?

4- Ok it time for a really easy one 2 + _ = 4? Fill in the blank.

5- I have 5 travel bugs in my possession. I decide to go out and drop a few off. The first cache I go to I drop off 1. The next cache I go to is a micro and I don’t drop any off . The third cache I visit is a TB motel so I drop off 2 and pick up 1. The last geocache I visit I decide to drop off 2 more. How many Travel bugs do I have in my possession when I go home.

Ok we are half way there. These problems are not to bad are they? I hope not. Don’t worry there are only five more to go.

6- What number do I need to put in the blank to answer this question?
4_62 + 138 + 1467 = 6167

7- You wake up one morning and want to find 20 caches in one day. You find seven caches and decide to go to lunch. After lunch you find seven more very quickly. How many more caches do you need to find to get your twenty for the day?

8- Here is another really easy one for you. _ + 1 = 10?

9- There is a very large geocache event that you want to attend. The only thing is it is 458.5 miles away. If you average a driving speed of 65.5 mph how many hours would it take you to drive to this event?

10- Sweet you made it to the last question this one is kind of a hard one but don’t give up.
562704 divided by 4_6 = 1234 Fill in the blank.

Ok now you have the numbers you need put them in the boxes below.
