Geocache Description:

Easy park and grab. Log only cache located in the Laguna Hills Mall parking lot by Sears.

Here's a check to see if you paid attention in geometry class. The location is marked by a regular/plane Schläfli symbol.

A Schläfli symbol as a symbol of the form {p,q,r,...} used to describe regular polygons, polyhedra, and their higher-dimensional counterparts.

The symbol {p} denotes a regular polygon for integer p, or a star polygon for rational p. The symbol {p,q} denotes a tessellation of regular p-gons, with q of them surrounding each polytope vertex. The Schläfli symbol can also be used to describe Platonic solids and Kepler-Poinsot solids, and a generalized version describes quasiregular polyhedra and Archimedean solids. Higher dimensional symbols can be used to describe the regular polychora and polytopes.
