THE FINAL IS NOT AT THE POSTED COORDINATES. You will
need to solve for:
N 44° 06.(A-B)(C/D)(E*F)
W 088° 32.(U+V)(W-X)(Y*Z)
Driving is something most of us do every day, but rarely do we give
much thought to the laws we studied to get our license. Consider
this cache a refresher course to see if you still belong on the
road. But unlike the last time you took it, you’ll need to
score a perfect 100% before you can pass. All the questions
are examples of ones found on a standard driving test except one (I
bet you can guess which it is!) If you haven’t been
“driven” crazy by the test, the final coordinates will
take you the vicinity of a common stop for drivers. (Placed with
permission of the manager.)
When finished,
check your answers to see if you pass. Good luck
drivers!
