Geocache Description:

Placed with permission from WCFP permit number 0493

This is a simple puzzle cache put together by one of the members of our team. It is a tribute to his school in which he had gone to from pre-school all the way to 8th grade and has just graduated. His favorite subject was math and this was in the last chapter that he learned. This is a cache located in an area that has a very small amount of caches. We all hope that this inspires cachers to put some more caches in this area. As you can see below, you may want to get those math skills ready to solve this tricky puzzle. If you have solved this puzzle correctly you WILL have two north cordinates and one west cordinate. You wil have to go out and check both possible locations to find this awesome cache. We as a group had alot of fun making this puzzle cache and we hope that you, our fellow geocachers, have that same fun solving it. So the question yet again is "Are you smarter than an 8th grader?".
