Geocache Description:

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.

The coordinates are not the real coordinates of the cache. You have to solve the puzzle below to get the real coordinates.

To start with, you have to complete the 10 X 10 numeric matrix below. Once you have done that, you will find the coordinates of the cache as part of a cross where P is the shared middle digit. The latitude will be the three horizontal digits and the longitude will be the vertical three digits. The final location is 27 1.APB'N and 82 23.CPD'W. Out of the 64 possible combinations, only the real one is unique within the matrix. For example, if P = the number in row 6, column 2 (3), the final coordinates would be 27 1.334'N and 82 23.937'W (R) = Number of Jupiter's moons - 60 S = Ramesses the Great was also known as Ramesses ?? (T) = Counties in Iowa with populations > 120,000 (U) = Name of city at 34 10'24"N and 82 1'18"W - XC (V) = Theta's place in the greek alphabet (W) = Smallest prime number (X) = Nitrogen's position in the periodic table (Y) = Number of boroughs in New York city.
