Now let’s have a little fun.
In other to solve this puzzle cache, you must find the date that each of the above geocachers first established their account with geocaching.com
Then add the date, month and year (as numbers) together to get a whole 4-digit number.
Then apply the results in the following formulas to solve the coordinates for the final cache location.
Once you have found the answers, calculate as follows:
X = (K – G + D + 96 – J + O – N + A – L + M) / 2000
Y = (E + C – R + B – F + I – Q + H + 76 - P) / 1000
Final Cache Location is calculated as follows:
N48° 15.309 + X
W089° 28.577 - Y
The cache is located within 4 km of the posted coordinates.
The cache container contains various badges. If you are trading badges, please trade one badge for another badge. There is room in the cache container for other trade items.
Please replace the cache container exactly back in the location where you found it so it will be a challenge for the next geocacher.
This cache has been placed as part of the "Spring Cache Challenge 2008" event.
