Geocache Description:


Puzzle Cache: DO NOT GO TO POSTED COORDINATES


A Cryptarithm is a type of mathematical puzzle in which most or all of the digits in a mathematical expression, such as a sum, are substituted by letters or other symbols. In a typical puzzle, there is a one-to-one correspondence between the numbers and the letters replacing them. That is, the same digit is always represented by the same letter. The objective of the puzzle is to break the code used. That is, to replace each letter of the Cryptarithm by a numeral so that the resulting mathematical expression is true. Use your long division skills to find the number that each letter represents. When done place the letters in the appropriate 0 - 9 spot and they will spell a 10-letter word used in Geocaching.

When you have obtained the correct words, make the substitution at the bottom of the puzzle.

And the answer is: Oops! Sorry, the answer is in UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) (WGS84 Datum) Zone 17r. You will have to convert the UTM back to Degrees and Minutes.
