Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coords. You must solve the riddle to get the coords. Please bring a writing implement.

This is a nice easy bridge cache located on a piece of The Mother Road that doesn't get much attention. Because of its simplicity we made it an easy mystery.

Pick three different numbers . . . . . . . . ABC
Reverse those three numbers. . . . . . . CBA
Subtract the smaller of the two, if your answer is not a three digit number add zeros to the beginning to make it one.
This gives you a new number. . . . . . . DEF
Take this new number and reverse it . FED
Add these two numbers together . . . . XXXX

Now to find the last three digits of the latitude, subtract 203 from the new number XXXX.
For the last three digits of the longitude, subtract 517 from the new number XXXX.
