Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES!

N 30° {(B,8)-(I,1)} {(D,5-(H,8)}. {(E,8)×3} {(H,5)+2} {(E,4)+2} W
095° {(F,1)÷2} {(E,4)+(B,2)}. {2(A,7)÷3} {-(G,6) +2} {(I,3)}

I penetrate flesh and bone
With a pointy tip carved by stone
At the sound of my cry an animal is slain
In the warfare of men I'm used all the same

You will first need to fill in the numbers in the grid in the file below the description. After you do that, take the yellow fragments and slide them across the grid in any position necessary to form a certain shape (No rotation is neccessary). The different fragments will be marked by being outlined by a different color. Make sure that you place the top center of the shape on (E,3) of the grid and the bottom center of the shape on (E,9) of the grid. To
get that shape you will need to solve the above riddle.

When you move a fragment into its final position, the numbers that were in
the original position of the fragment will move along with it. At the same time, the numbers that are currently in this new position of the fragment will need to be put in place of its corresponding digit in the old fragment position. Both sets of numbers will
essentially be switching positions with each other.

Once you've rearranged the numbers, you should have enough information to solve the equations above.

Happy caching!!
