Geocache Description:


At the posted co-ords you will find yourself standing on a series of rings (circle#1).

These rings, along with a near by list of eight numbers, contain the means to determine several sets of co-ords along with distances to two additional rings.
One at magnetic N (circle#2) and the other at true W (circle#3).
For counting purposes the single center piece is counted as one.

Circle#2 is (add up all 8 numbers and divide by 6) meters away.

Circle#3 is (# of stones the 10th ring has plus 1) X (# of stones the 3rd ring has minus 1) X (the number of trees at circle#2) meters away.

Co-ord set #1
48 (# of benches at circle#3 plus # of stones in 3rd ring) . (# of stones in 5th ring) , (# of stones in 7th ring divided by the ring# that has 21 stones)
123 (# of stones in the 5th ring) . (the ring# that has 21 stones) , (# of stones in 7th ring + # of large stones in 9th ring)

Co-ord set #2
48 (# of stones in 8th ring) . (# of large stones in 9th ring + ring# that has 14 stones) , (Ring# that has 8 stones)
123 (# of small stones in 11th ring) . (ring# that has 33 stones) , (number of benches at circle#3 doubled plus ring# that has 58 stones)

Co-ord set #3
48 (3rd largest # minus 2nd smallest # plus # of stones in 3rd ring) . (ring# that has 24 large and 50 small stones) , (# of stones in 7th ring divided by ring# that has 14 stones)
123 (number of benches at circle#3 doubled) . (# of people depected by the statue at circle#2) , (# of stones in 10th ring plus 1)

Now that you have 3 sets of co-ords go to GC1N0ZE "The Solution" and printed under the lid is, you quessed it, "The Solution".
It will tell you which, if any, co-ord set the final is at.

Oh...by the way...there IS a final. It is an ammo can...hidden in the woods around 10 miles from the start (as the crow flies)
