Geocache Description:

Alberta Battlecache
The cache is not at the posted coordinates

To get the coordinates of this cache, solve the following alphametic puzzle:



  +   +   + =
green   orange   indigo   rain   rainbow

There are two fairly obvious (but worth stating) rules which every alphametic obeys:

  • The mapping of letters to numbers is one-to-one. That is, the same letter always stands for the same digit, and the same digit is always represented by the same letter.
  • The digit zero is not allowed to appear as the left-most digit in any of the addends or the sum.

The cache is hidden at N 51° RI.GGB W 114° RG.DRW


About the series

This cache is part of the Rainbow Series of puzzle caches. The series contains the six colors of the rainbow plus a cache "at the end of the rainbow". Solve the puzzles and follow the rainbow to the end. Each of the caches in the series will provide you with a little information that you need either to find or open the final cache. Be sure to collect that information at every cache! The final is a golden ammo can so you also might want to hold off on the trading until you reached the end of the rainbow.  

The rainbow series consists of

  GC29F3Y - Red
  GC29F3Z - Orange
  GC29F40 - Yellow
  GC29F41 - Green
  GC29F42 - Blue
  GC29F43 - Violet
  GC29F44 - Gold
