Geocache Description:

You will need a “New” $5 series 2006 or later. Or high resolution pictures of one. If you need the pictures and can’t find them please e-mail me and I’ll send a set.

The cache is NOT at the posted coords. You will need a pen because I forgot to put one in the cache container……… There was plenty of room too in the 50 cal ammo box. OKAY I said no more puzzles, but I was twitching and just had to do it. It is barely winter accessible, but you can find it.

A: How many little yellow “05”s are there on the obverse (front) of the “NEW” $5?
B: How many little yellow “05”s are there on the reverse (back) of the “NEW” $5?
C: A+B = ab and a + b = ?
D: Number of letters in the three word phrase within the shield (naked eye may not be good enough). Add the digits of the answer together and that is D.
E: How many times does a 3 letter abbreviation show up in the shield (again the naked eye may not be enough for you to see).
F: Number of letters in the two words (combined) not carved in stone.
G: The number of times a seven letter phrase is repeated in the purple.
H: The number of stars to the left of Lincoln’s ear minus the purple number on the back.
I: The number of “5”s of similar size minus the number of “5”s that are much bigger.

The cache is at the following:

North 43 0W.XYZ by West -077 2S.TUV

Where: S = F, T = b-G-1, U = H-G, V = a-b-1, W = C, X = E+F-I-G, Y = I-2 and Z = (D/2) + 3
