Geocache Description:

Three "R"s: Reading, 'Riting, and 'Rithmetic. Now where did such a horrible acronym come from? Certainly early educators could spell better.

I was sitting in my office on another slow hot summer day in June, pondering over the nuances of The Missing Man Mystery. As I sat there waiting for another interesting person to walk through my door, I was doodling around and thought it would be fun to place a puzzle near Lowell Observatory. My dog and I wander around up on the mesa frequently so I placed a cache up there with a short puzzle to solve. The posted coordinates are near good parking.

Now it's up to you to find the pattern and complete 4 more rows. Latitude: 12.xxx where the thousandths are the product of the digits in row 7 minus 2 thousandths Longtitude: 41.yyy there the thousandths are the sum of the digits in row 6 minus 2 thousandths Hopefully, I will have another major mystery soon and maybe pay some bills. The usual detective work is not very exciting. Oh well, I might as well take the afternoon off and go geocaching.
Until next time... Walter PI
