This a 6-part multi, and a puzzle. The purpose of the
puzzle is to raise awareness of the poor math skills that have
resulted from calculators replacing brains at all ages and levels
in the culture. To find this cache, you will have to do
arithmetic.
The above coordinates take you to the parking lot of the
Rockland Town Forest in Rockland, MA. From there, you can get
to the first stage by solving the two problems below
When you find the 1st stage, you will be presented with an
arithmetic problem of equal difficulty to find stage 2. For
inspiration, you will also find a short biography of a world famous
mathmatician.

This process continues for the next 5 stages, as you sharpen your
mind, and tour the wooded surroundings of the Rockland Forest.
The multi takes you to the furthest extents of the Forest.
Near the parking lot, the forest is well manicured, the paths
are trimmed & mulched, and the brooks are crossed by well built
bridges. As you get deeper into the property, things
gradually become a little more wild; mulch gives way to mud,
bridges become logs thrown over the water, and eventually, at the
end, no logs at all.
The 5 stages are camo wrapped pill bottles; the cache is a
regular sized lock-n-lock. Tall pines confuse the GPS in
places, but the hints are specific.
Remember, it's only arithmetic, no algebra, no trig, no
calculus. Don't bring a calculator. Bring paper &
pencil. Only then can you prove you have brains as well as
integrity, and join the roster of great mathmaticians.
Also in the Forest is an older caches; Rockland
