Geocache Description:

Cache is not at the posted coordinates, so don't go there unless you're hungry. These coords will take you to the Dunkin' Donuts store where cubschris and soccerwill have started more than one caching day with breakfast.

To solve this puzzle, you don't need anything except some "old school" math skills. Specifically, you'll have to apply to each of the numbers below something that you probably learned in junior high, which makes this cache more "old school" for some of you than for others

Here are the numbers:

  • 39
  • 8,541
  • 255,819,621
  • 747
  • 49
  • 60,808
  • 2,728
  • 290,177
  • 3,703
  • 0
  • 100,280,245,065
  • 77
Once you've solved the puzzle, there likely will be wading involved to get to the cache location. If you wear boots, the water should not be a factor.

FTF prize is an unactivated geocoin.
