End Puzzle
In order to keep it fair (and challenging) I have decided that I will not answer questions about the questions until five (5) Cachers have found it. After that I am willing to give hints on how to solve these problems to all of the mathematically challenged. I will however answer clerical questions about wording. However, I will not answer questions about definition of math terms. The Hide its self is easy, the stars are for the difficulty of the puzzle. There is a code at the top of the log. Please send me the code before you log your find. Have fun and good luck!
The Formula is: N39 AB.CDE W083 FG.HIJ
You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
YAY!!!! We have five finds now! I am open for help on all problems!!!!
