Are you smarter than a fifth grader? Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

CTReviewer: Greetings from Geocaching.com

I have been looking at caches in the area that have been temporarily disabled for a while now and it looks like your cache has been under the weather for some time. While I feel that Geocaching.com should hold the location for you and block other cachers from entering the area around this cache for a reasonable amount of time I don’t think we can do so any longer. Therefore, I have archived this cache. If you haven’t done so already, please pick up any remaining cache bits as soon as possible.

When repairs to this cache are completed and it is time to have it reposted, it will be no problem. Just drop me a note and let me know the GC waypoint number of the cache or better yet, the URL of the cache page. You will still be able to access your cache page just as before by going to your “My Cache Page” and clicking the link of your cache.

I will be more than happy to take a look at your cache again to see if it is still is within the guidelines of the Geocaching.com website for cache placement and posting. I want to thank you for the time that you have taken to contribute to geocaching in the past and am looking forward to seeing your cache up and running in the future.

Thanks for your understanding,
CTReviewer

Geocache Description:

Peterson Park Cache,easy find, Perfect for kids!Watch for muggles.

This one came to us after my son needed help with his fifth grade homework.

For coordinates:

Q1. 12 less than 3 times Y is 270. What is Y? Enter Y for the West coordinate. (W072 59.0Y)

Q2. If a truck driver drove 10 hours at an average speed of 65.7 miles per hour, how many miles did he travel? Enter that # as xxx for your North Coordinate (N41 36.xxx)

Extra Credit fourth grade question: Answer this without research and you just may be smarter than a fifth grader: What is the “Range” of these spelling test scores: 80,90,90,95,100? (I will email the answers if need be)

So are you? This is a fun cache dedicated to all the hard working fifth graders, its filled with fun fifth grade goodies. The terrain is easy, hidden in one of our favorite parks; Peterson Park, this park has ties to my wife’s family( the Petersons). The above coordinates are for the parking area, park anywhere the distance is equal no matter where you park. This park is closed at dusk. Except during October where they host a haunted walkthrough.
