Geocache Description:

The final is NOT at the posted coordinates!
Do NOT go looking for the cache here or you might become as flat as me! You will need to solve for:

N 44° (A-B)(C-F).(G-H)(D+J)(H+K)
W 088° (A+E)(B+D).(C+F)(E+H)(G+J)


This a hide for the whole family. The final is a peanut butter jar near a school, so be watchful about the times you seek it. Small kids might need help with the terrain at GZ, but the walk there is very easy and pleasant. May not be winter friendly, but findable in all seasons.

You may be familiar with the children’s' book character “Flat Stanley” Lambchop, who is flattened paper-thin by a bulletin board. He soon is sliding under doors and visiting his friends by mail. But this story is about me, Flat Stanley’s lesser-known cousin, Flat Jack Foundit. I came upon a similar fate when I tried to squeeze between two rocks while geocaching. My new shape makes it a challenge for me to cache by myself, but I still love to hide them!

For this cache, I wanted to see if geocaching adults were as smart as my grade school pals. To get the coordinates, you’ll need to score 100% on this pop quiz based on real grade school questions. I’m hoping you’ll choose the help of a grade-schooler, like a 5th grader, before “cheating” with the internet. Can I also trust you won’t peek at your neighbor’s test or write answers on your palms?

When finished, check your answers to see if you pass.
