This cache is the first in a series I will be creating called "Number Patterns", where the solutions to the puzzles involve numbers and patterns. This first puzzle involves one of my favorite patterns, it might even look familiar to some! If so, this cache may be easier than a 3.5 for you, but for others the rating may prove more accurate. Please feel free to check your answer at Geochecker.com.
Here are the first 6 rows of this pattern, complete the next 9 rows to find the necessary info for the true cache coordinates (R1 denotes row 1, R2 denotes row 2, etc.)
R1 = 1
R2 = 11
R3 = 21
R4 = 1211
R5 = 111221
R6 = 312211
...
R15 = ???
After completing all 15 rows of this pattern, add the specified numbers below to find the cache coordinates.
Example: 1R2 + 2R3 = 3
This means, the number of 1's in row 2 (R2) plus the number of 2's in row 3 (R3).
Example2: 1R4 - 3R6 = 2
This means, the number of 1's in row 4 (R4) minus the number of 3's in row 6 (R6).

A = 1R13 - 2R14 - 3R9
B = 1R10 - 3R14
C = 2R6 + 3R10
D = 3R15 - 4R14 - 2R11
E = 2R13 * 4R15
F = 1R15 - 1R14 - 2R9
G = 2R15 / 3R9
H = 2R12 - 2R10
I = 3R15 - 2R14 + 1R5
J = 3R11 - 2R8
Good luck!!
