Geocache Description:


Cache is not at the listed coordinates.

Simple arithmetic - and a little knowledge of trivia are all it takes to solve this numerical puzzle. Solving the puzzle leads to locating the geocache. Each clue is in the form of a two-part equation. When you know the answers to both parts, perform the calculation indicated by the symbol and write the result in the box corresponding to the letter of the clue. When all the boxes have been correctly filled in, each horizontal and vertical row as well as each of the two corner to corner diagonals will add up to the same key number. This key number is known as "Z." Use this “key” number as well as the numbers in the letter boxes to locate the correct geocache coordinates.
