The foreign exchange (currency or forex or FX) market exists wherever one currency is traded for another. It is by far the largest financial market in the world, and includes trading between large banks, central banks, currency speculators, multinational corporations, governments, and other financial markets and institutions. The average daily trade in the global forex and related markets currently is over US$ 3 trillion. The main trading centers are in London, New York, Tokyo, and Singapore, but banks throughout the world participate. Currency trading happens continuously throughout the day; as the Asian trading session ends, the European session begins, followed by the North American session and then back to the Asian session, excluding weekends. There is little or no 'inside information' in the foreign exchange markets.
We are going to take a different approach and I am going to give you some inside information: to this geocaching puzzle cache that is! I have placed a regular sized camouflaged Currency Trading Station. It is well stocked with money from different countries. It is currently started with over 20 bills from countries ranging from Russia to Brazil to Ghana and quite a few in-between! Look in the photo gallery to view pictures of currency to help you get started! Follow the directions to get the correct coordinates! Enjoy! Answer the following 13 questions to get the correct coordinates to this cache. Some have two parts to the question.
Here are some hints that may be of some assistance to you:
***I got all information off of wikipedia.com, this is where I would recommend to research the answers.
***For questions that have more than one consecutive blanks in a row fill the first number in a and the 2nd in b. For example: 27 would be a:2 b:7 :]
***NO ONE is equivalent to zero/0
