Geocache Description:

I thought I'd enter an island cache in the Blitz. This cache is not at the posted coordinates. You need to solve the puzzle to obtain the true location of the cache.

Mr Boole invented this stuff, and it is an essential part of computing. Translate the info below to get the coordinates. Please note that there are no fractions. Each piece of the puzzle translates to a portion of the coordinates in standard dd mm mmm format, and for this puzzle all 3 pieces are whole numbers. There are two steps for each column to get you to the coordinates. Here is the North.

110101 10100 1001101100
AND OR XOR
111000 01100 0100000101
? ? ?


And here is the West

0111000 10001 1111000111
XOR OR AND
1000011 01011 1001101010
? ? ?


There is a $10 gift certificate for the 1st finder. The cache is a medium sized lock and lock about 100 feet up a deer trail from the main path.

BONUS - for those cachers who have been stymied on (or haven't yet looked for) GC10V5D Getting Bigger , the coordinates to the final stage of that cache are on the inside of the lid of this cache
