Geocache Description:

Very near this place is where men go to die. I'm referring, of course, to the traffic circle, or "circle of death". If you've seen folks whizzing through those yield signs, then you know what I mean.

Congrats to JohnnyGeoSeed and I'mtheMAP! for their FTF!!!

Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates, but some clues are. At the posted coordinates, you will find TWO round metal plates; only ONE of them is correct. You must discern the correct one! Count the following things on the chosen plate:

A = # of circular holes in the plate
B = # of words beginning with the letter "C"
C = # of letters inscribed within the diamond shape


At the center of the plate is a geometric shape inscribed within another geometric shape. On the innermost geometric shape:
D = the number of acute angles
E = the number of obtuse angles
F = the number of right angles.

Compute the final coords:
Decimal part of the North coords (i.e. 514) PLUS (A-B+D)*((C+E)+F) to get the new decimal part of the North coord.
Decimal part of the West coords (i.e. 308) MINUS D*E*(A+C+F)-B-C to get the new decimal part of the West coord.
