Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Please solve the puzzle below to determine the location of the cache.


I've had a lot on my plate recently. I lost my license. Well, my license plate anyway. In fact, I lost my whole car. I know it's around here somewhere. I'd like to find it before it gets towed. I know I didn't park it in a marked tow zone, but I'm pretty sure you aren't supposed to leave a car where I did. Actually, I'm more worried about getting the license plate back than anything else. Maybe you can help me. Find my car, if it's still there. Then find my plate.

Use the clues below to build the coordinates from the license plates.

The cache is at N42° AB.CDE, W88° VW.XYZ


A is the only digit that appears on every plate in a single column.
B is the only number in common with all states that border the Mississippi River.
C is the only number that appears twice in yellow.
D is the only number that appears twice on a single license plate.
E is the only number to appear in each row and each column.

V is spelled out in letters.
W appears both as a yellow number and on a yellow background.
X is the only digit that does not appear in the row in which all other digits are present.
Y only appears once.
Z is the sum of the digits on a green plate.

You may be able to find more than one possible solution, but I only lost one car. You can check here to see if you think you know where to look.
