Geocache Description:

The fun never ends when math is your friend...
(BRIEF: solve puzzle to get co-ords, go to location, find small container)

This is a follow up to my cache 'I don't like math' (hold your breath for 'I hate math' if I get the puzzle wrong again!). If you've solved the other puzzle, this one will be easy peasy.

The image below is the first six lines of a number pattern. Your task is to work out the next four lines, then answer the questions to get the co-ordinates.


Questions...
A = Number of 1's in row 9?
B = 7th digit in row 10?
C = Sum of 2's in row 8 minus the number of 1's in row 8?
D = Sum of 4's from all rows?
E = Sum of digits in row 7 minus sum of digits in row 8?
F = 2nd digit in row 9?
G = Number of 1's in row 10 plus number of 4's in row 10?
H = Sum of 3's in row 7?
I = Number of 3's in rows 7-10 divided by the number of 4's in rows 7-10?
J = Total number of 1's minus total number of 2's? (all rows)

The cache is at...
S 43 AB.CDE
E172 FG.HIJ


It is a berocca container hidden above ground level, below waist level. Reception was pretty average when placed. It contains a log sheet, pencil and sharpener.
Happy Hunting!
