Geocache Description:

The above coordinates are for a shopping plaza. The cache is not at this location. You will need to do some mathematical calculations and go to the final, approximately 4 miles away. I would suggest locating the final to be done during daylight hours.

That's right, Grey Matter, they (whoever THEY is) say that if you don't use your brain, you start to lose it. So here is a cache to jump start your thinking cap. Go to the listed coords and you will be in a small shopping plaza in Haslett. Explore this plaza while looking for a large outdoor mural. Once there locate the artists name and write it down. Using the traditional letter to number conversion a=1, b=2 etc, take the last two letters of the artists name and add them together. The sum of those two letters will be = WX. ABC = 21712 divided by WX. DEF = 19136 divided by WX. N42 44.ABC W084 24.DEF is the starting point to find the final. To go to the final, travel 4.383 miles at a bearing of 127.506 degrees. Here you will find a larger than a nano but smaller than a micro camoed contained. Bring your own pen/pencil as you won't find one here. No pen/pencil equals no log.
