Geocache Description:

A simple Puzzle Cache to introduce you to the art of a most interesting Pittsburgh park - Frank Curto Park. This cache and objects needed to solve the puzzle are located within the park, off Bigelow Blvd. The park is only accessible from the inbound lane, 0.5 miles past Herron Ave. Look for the orange posts.

The puzzle:

From N 40 degrees 27 minutes, subtract the number of "fries" in the statue "Pittsburgh" multiplied by .001 minute, then subtract another .001 minute. In other words, Minutes = 27 - (#Fries * .001) - .001

"Pittsburgh" is also known as the "French Fry Statue." You will see why when you see the piece.

From W 079 degrees 58 minutes, add the number of goddesses in the art installation just to the southwest of "Pittsburgh" multiplied by .301 minute.

Be warned - If you leave Frank Curto Park before you have the smiley, it will take a LONG time to swing back around...
