Now work the answers out below:

To work out the answers you need to start by making a template. (A=1, B=2, C=3 and so on through the whole alphabet.)

Now you take each correct answer and, using just the alpha portion (leave out the numbers) for each answer, turn each letter of the answer into a number 1 through 26.

Then add up all the numbers you get for each answer. You will end up with one total number for each answer. That means 6 different whole numbers, one for each answer.

Use the formulas below to figure out the coordinates with your whole numbers.

Answer 1) Minus 50= A

Answer 2) Times 2 then subtract 407= B

Answer 3) plus 20 then subtract 159= C

Answer 4) Times 4 Then subtract 412= D

Answer 5) Subtract 174= E

Answer 6) Add 600 Then subtract 756= F


The final coordinates (and the cache) is at these coordinates :

N47° 46.ABC

W122° 09.DEF

Personal note GPS signals are a bit wobbly in the area…

Congratulations on FTF to “EFHutton”. Congratulations to STF “GrievousAngel” she even made the find with a little assumption. It has been rectified.
