The cache location can be calculated using the following formula.
JJ = ( E * I ) - C
KKK = ( ( A * B ) * E ) - H
LL = ( F * G ) - C
MMM = ( ( ( A + B + C + D + E + F + G + H + I ) * H ) + F ) * ( A + C )
N 42 JJ.KKK
W 071 LL.MMM
The cache is hidden in a place appropriate for the theme, and is small, so bring your own pen. The cache was stocked with cute bunnies when it was placed.
