Geocache Description:



Have you ever been at the mall and wished you had something to do? Then this cache is for you.



These coordinates are not the coordinates for the cache, they are for one of the many entrances to Town Center Mall. Once inside, you can solve the clues to the puzzle and determine the digits for the final cache, which is located at
N 34 AB.ACD
W084 EF.AGH
The mall has limited hours of opperation, which can be found at www.simon.com/mall/default.aspx?ID=211
You do not have to enter any stores to find the clues. The cache is located outside. Numbers may be used more than once.

To find digit A, you need to subtract the number of MR. Pretzel stores that are on the first level from those on the second level.

If you get hungry on any day but Sunday, order this Atlanta area fast food chain's signature meal deal. This is digit B.

For desert, try this famous "Lady Chocolatier". Add the last two numbers on the year of establishment and this is digit D.

If you went from Build a Bear to the Disney Store, you might want to take an escalator. How many, both up and down, are in the mall.(Do not count those inside anchor stores) Subtract 1 from this number and you have digit C.

E is the number of quarters you need to ride the kiddie fire truck.

Climb the stairs in the main atrium. Divide the number of steps from level 1 to the landing by four. This is F.

Go from one level of the mall to another with out using stairs or escalators. When you do, look up and count the lights then subtract 2. This is G.

You are almost done. In the food court there is an architectural element that the Romans are credited for inventing (then McDonalds made golden). Count the number of these elements on the shorter side of the food court and add 2 or count the elements on the longer side and subtract 2. This is digit H.

We hope you enjoy this cache as much as our family had hiding it.
