Geocache Description:

The cache container is a lock and lock container with small trade items. Lots of muggles in the area, so put your stealth skills to the test. This cache is easier on the weekend. Because of the high traffic area please replace the camo as found.


The cache is not at the coordinates given, in fact to reach the posted coordinates you would have to obtain an unique number.

A Number Pyramid is composed of the 10 different numbers 0-9 with a top row of 1 number resting on a second row of 2 sitting on a third row of 3 supported by a bottom row of 4.

for example, a Number Pyramid could be:

      0      
    1   2    
  3   4   5  
6   7   8   9

Given the clues below, you must determine the composition of this Number Pyramid.

A. The number on top the pyramid minus the sum of the two numbers in the second row equals 1.

B. The middle number in row 3 minus the number second from the right in row 4 equals 6.

C. The three numbers in row 3 sum to 24.

D. The leftmost numbers in the four rows of this Number Pyramid add up to 24.

E. The rightmost number in row 4 minus the second number from the left in that row equals 3.

The final cache can be found at: N 44 ab.cde W 76 fg.hij

WHERE
ab=(middle number of Row 3)+(Row 1)
cde=(Row 2 squared)-(Row 3)-195
fg=(sum of all digits in Row 3)+ (sum of all digits in Row 4)
hi=(first digit of Row 2) + (last digit of Row 4)
j= (Row 1) + (third digit of Row 4)
