Geocache Description:

FTF: February 25, 2008 - By: CaptSteiny.

The Above Coordinates Get You Close, But No Brass Ring Or Banana!
INTRODUCTION:

      So, you think you've seen and done it all, eh?  Well, here's a new twist to my puzzle series to hopefully frustrate some of you!  In the past I've created a few "teaser" puzzle caches, but they've all been found, so far.
      If you have difficulty figuring out this puzzle, what can I say. Maybe, it was just in the cards and meant to be!  Don't hate me, the puzzle or yourself, just because you can't solve it or find it, for you are quite possibly of average intelligence! ;-)
      The Final Cache is very well camouflaged and in a location without trails.  If you are quick of wit and fleet of foot, your hunt time could be as little as half an hour, but I wouldn't count on it.
INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Place a Three-Digit Number, greater than 200, in each of the Eight Spaces provided below and identified by A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.

(Select your Three-Digit Numbers very carefully, starting with the lowest possible value)

685A   685B   685C   685D   685E   685F   685G   685H

2.  Divide each of the above 8 sets of Six-Digit Numbers by 111, so the end result is a Quanity of 8 sets of Four-Digit Whole Numbers. Remember, a Whole Number is one that doesn't have a decimal point and numbers following it.

EXAMPLE:  685 + 200 = 685200  -  -  -  685200 / 111 = 6172.9729
(The above is an invalid solution, because of the Decimal Point and the numbers following it.)

3.  Now, add all 8 of the above Four-Digit Numbers together, so the end result is a Single Five-Digit Number that is greater than 45000 and less than 50000.

4.   Last but not least and most important, Multiply that Five-Digit Number by .00001 and you will have the value of "X".  Example: 45678 becomes .45678
WP #2:  N 47.02782° + 0.X  @  W 122.17200° + 0.X
WAYPOINTS:

WAYPOINT #1:  Park your vehicle at N47° 31.320' @ W122° 39.976', behind the Industrial Park sign. Don't park at or near the Bus Stop

WAYPOINT #2:  At this location you will find a small tin box containing the coordinates to Waypoint #3.

WAYPOINT #3:  At this location you will hopefully discover a Small Ammo-Can, in which you will find a logbook, pencil and trade items.

The "FTF" prize is a portable Sony 9 Band AM, FM, Shortwave Radio.
