Geocache Description:

Math skills a little rusty? Time to go back to school! The listed coordinates will take you to a one room school house that is more than 150 years old. Above one of the doors you will find the letter D followed by two numbers needed to solve the problems listed below. The final is a 30 cal ammo can within walking distance of the school house.

North Coordinates:
Begin with 42 51.XXX

To solve for XXX take the first number, the four digit number, that you have found and divide it by 10. Now round to the nearest whole number. Lastly add 12 to that number.

West Coordinates:
They start off 073 20.YYY

To solve for YYY take the second number, the two digit number, that you have found and multiply it by 50. Take that number and add 10 to it.
