Geocache Description:

Cub Run Stream Valley Park - North #3 CACHE NOT AT LISTED COORDINATES - the listed coordinates are for the Cub Run Rec Center parking lot. (Apologies to Donbadabon) Cache coordinates updated 9/13/2010. New location is on opposite side of asphault trail about the same distance from it. Feel free to email me for new coords (if you already solved the former coords).

This is one of a series of caches in Cub Run Stream Valley Park - North. Dawn to Dusk. Night Caching in Fairfax County Park Authority parks is expressly forbidden. Answer the questions below to get the coordinates for the cache location. The questions are about a great book my 4th grade daughter recommended (which is now a movie) The City of Ember:

1. The only number (not including the instruction numbers) that appears as a number in the "Instructions"

2. The only number that is spelled out in the "Instructions"

3. In the "Instructions" which instruction refers to a mode of transportation

4. The tens digit in the house number of Annisette LaFrond's home.

5. The price Lina paid for each item she purchased from Looper.

6. (subtract 1 from answer) The number of items Lina purchased from Looper.

7. (add 3 to answer) The difference between the ones and the tens digits in the room where Doon says childrens shoes are stored.

8. Subract the tens digit from the ones digit in the house number of Ravenet Parson's home.

9. The sum of the digits comprising what is thought of as the current year.

10. Subtract one from the hour that the Singing begins.

11. The room number of the room the graduating students waited in for their Assignment.

12. (Subtract 1 from answer) The tens digit in the house number of Lina Mayfleet's home.

13. (Add 9 to answer) The number of cars in the city of Ember.

14. (Add 2 to answer) The time of day when the city lights turn on. (If you want the page numbers, decrypt the really long "hint".)
