Smarter than a second-grader? Mystery Cache
busternfruss: The first, "classwork" stage (under the bench) of this cache has been muggled almost as soon as it's replaced each time, although the final stage (under the bush) stayed safe and sound. I could turn this puzzle/multi-cache into a puzzle/single-stage cache, but the little surprise classwork assignment (super-easy) at stage one made it a bit more special. So...
Those second-graders are high-schoolers now and teacher is retired. Perhaps it's time for school to declare a permanent vacation after eight years of fun. Thank you and a final A+ to all those finders who are "smarter than a second-grader"! ~B&F
Perhaps a Bookworm might move in?

***CACHE IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. SOLVE THE PUZZLE FOR COORDINATES OF CACHE.***
Update 2013: Georgia second grade standards have changed, and there is no CRCT for second grade. These are still required second grade skills, however, and will likely continue to be. Email me if you get stuck on your homework and I'll be glad to help. I like giving A+'s!
*Note: Area has muggle-free times on a regular basis, after hours and weekends (except Sat. mornings). Please don't search when muggles are present! BYOP, cache has space for geocoins and small signature items. Please fasten the lid securely so the cache remains water tight.
Cache is on public property and handicapped parking is available.
Find the answers or fill in the blanks to solve the coordinates. The homework won't be too hard, as the first seven are second grade student skills that are required in Georgia. The last one is now a freebie, because second graders no longer take the CRCT.
First coordinate: 1 2 3 . 4
Second coord: 5 6 7 . 8
