Geocache Description:

Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader?

Find out as you tour Whiteside County. This is an unknown coordinate cache. To solve the coords, you must have the correct answer from each of the AYSTA5G series (GC1EWM1, GC1F3HZ, GC1F3J6, GC1F3JC, GC1EWMR, GC1EWMX, GC1EWMG, GC1F3JJ , GC1EWMJ, and GC1F3JV).
Armed with all the answers, complete the crossword puzzle (below) and find the following letters:
A= 10th letter of 1 Dn
B= 5th letter of 2 Dn
C= 7th letter of 3 Dn
D= 5th letter of 4 Dn
E= 3rd letter of 5 Dn
F= 6th letter of 6 Acr
G= 2nd letter of 7 Acr
H= 5th letter of 8 Acr
I= 4th letter of 9 Acr
J= 2nd letter of 10 Dn

Use A=1... Z=26 to convert. In the event of a double digit conversion, add the digits together.
ex: the word "junk" J=10 --- 1+0=1
ex: K=11 --- 1+1=2

Enter your numbers into this format:
N 41° (B)(C-3).(H-1)(J+3)(E)
W 89° (A-3)(D-1).(G+2)(F-3)(I-2)

IN ADDITION to solving the coords and signing the log, the cache contains the "million dollar question." EMAIL your answer to the cache's question to me.

Don't spook your fellow trailmates as you hunt this cache. This park is also a great place to spend an afternoon. Bring your friends / family and enjoy!
