The cache is not at the posted coordinates, solve the puzzle to find the cache. This is a small Cache in a plastic tube container.
Room for small trade items and small Travel Bugs. I hope the puzzle, location, and view make it worth the effort.
This is a Pattern Recognition puzzle.
It is said that engineers take 3 minutes to resolve this, architects 3 hours, and doctors 6 hours. If you guess the 6th number, you can find the cache. What is the 6th number? Note: This puzzle was passed around our office, full of computer programmers, and all of us solved it in under 3 minutes. My Grandson solved it in about 2 minutes. Hopefully you will solve it quickly.
1, 2, 6, 42, 1806, ______
Add all the digits in the answer, the 6th number, to get a checksum. Add this checksum to both the latitude and longitude of the posted coordinates to get the waypoint of the container.
Example:
N 46 36.xxx where xxx = 531 + checksum
W 112 00.yyy where yyy = 760 + checksum
Please replace the container exactly like you found it.
Please don't take the pencil or sharpner.
Congrats to "teamhelena" For First To Find. Good Job.
