Geo Bowling Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

OReviewer: As there's been no cache to find for a long time or has had no owner response for at least 30 days, I'm archiving it to keep it from showing up in search lists, and to prevent it from blocking other cache placements.

Please note that if geocaches are archived by a reviewer or Geocaching HQ for lack of maintenance, they are not eligible for unarchival.

Geocache Description:

As you can tell by the name, this cache is located at the local bowling alley, with owners permission. Once you solve for the coordinates, you should have no trouble locating the cache. Depending on the time of day and day of the week, there could be lots of muggles around, so use stealth if necessary.

To solve for the coordinates, you need to calculate the scores of the two bowlers below and plug them into the following: N 41 46.ABC W 076 47.XYZ. Calculate bowler one's scores, then total them for the ABC of the coordinates. Then, calculate bowler two's scores and total them for the XYZ of the coordinates.
