Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the given coordinates, but is within 2 km.

I can be a bit obsessive when putting together puzzles for caches, and this fact sometimes becomes apparent to others.

For example: I had hidden this cache and had been trying to come up with an appropriate puzzle to lead to it. We were over at our friends' house, and one of them was talking about her job as a primary school teacher. My mind wandered for a bit, and then I realized there had been something she said that had the potential to be a puzzle . . . something to do with an assignment, and a girl named Maj who was too lazy to do it? No, she wouldn't have said anything like that last part! What exactly was it again?

"Can I see the assignment?" I asked, hoping that would jog my memory.

"Of course," she replied, and showed it to me. The assignment involved connecting a list of words to a set of matching pictures. I looked at the sheet closely, and found the inspiration I needed for this puzzle.

Neatness counts!

As you connect the words to the appropriate pictures, the lines you draw will intersect digits. Those digits, read in word order and from top to bottom, will give the coordinates of the cache. You may have to try it a couple of times to find the right combinations.

Since I believe you are all smarter than a second grader, I am not going to provide a checker, for now.(grin)
