Geocache Description:

Fun, kids oriented puzzle cache

*This cache was moved approx 10 feet from original location to hide it better after some trampling and dying off of vegetation made it visible to all*

Placed with permission of Murrysville Parks department, Sparkotronic brings you their second cache, Juju Beans (if you know the secret to the Coleslaw and Graham Crackers cache name, you can guess the secret to Juju Beans - There is no food in the cache!)

For those of you that know Pedora Park, you know this park is not very large. In order to make this more fun and challenging, we made it a simple puzzle cache. The coordinates are only for the parking lot. Our kids had a fun time helping us to create this puzzle and we hope you and yours will have a fun time solving it. You might want a pencil but any math is simple. No calculator needed. This park is located at the corner of Old William Penn and Wilson Roads in the Export/Delmont/Murrysville area. There are swings, a play structure, basketball courts and a baseball field, as well as a small creek, but watch for the poison ivy that stretches along much of the creek and in many of the wilder places! We tried really hard to place the cache safely away from poison. If there is a baseball game going on you might have muggle trouble, so use extreme caution or come back another time.

The ammo can cache is originally stocked with kids stuff. Our kids love to cache and are disappointed when there is nothing for them so we’d like to keep this a kid-friendly cache.

Below is your puzzle, fill the answers in this way:
North AB*CD.EFG'
West HIJ*KL.MNO'

A: How many swings are there in total?
B: There is a plaque on the bridge. What is the second digit in the year on the plaque?
C: What is the first digit of the troop number on the plaque on the bridge?
D: How many brown wooden benches are there?
E: The number of green “steps” going up to the top of the play structure minus 2.
F: Subtract the minimum age from the maximum on the yellow playground signs.
G: Number of yellow “steps” to the top of the play structure plus 3.
H: Third digit of the year on bridge plaque.
I: Number of brown steps to the small slide, including landings.
J: The climbing “wall” has shaped hand holes. Each panel has this # of holes.
K: First digit of the troop number who dedicated a bench to Jennifer Pien.
L: Last digit in the troop number who dedicated a bench to Jennifer Pien.
M: How many letters are in the first name of the group who donated two benches?
N: Maximum age of kids permitted on play equipment divided by 4.
O: Add together the 3 digits in the number on the distance sign in far left field (by the yellow pole)

Also, Murrysville prides itself on taking care of its parks, so if you see something that needs attention, let us know and we will alert them.

Good luck and have a great time!
