Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates.


One might ask if this sentence contains a three and yes it does, most certainly.  Of this I can assure, an amateur can solve this puzzle, and even their grandmother.  However, my puzzles are said to be a bit baffling and maybe so; I just try and make them challenging.  So who can you believe?  My advice is to develop your own criteria and forget all the hysteria.  Or even better yet, disregard the puzzle’s rating for goodness sake; you don't need to fret.  While good advice, ignoring the rating is something I probably have done just twice.

It’s a little too coincidental that I came close to choosing "Coincidental" as this puzzle’s title.  The obvious method of hiding the latitude digits is no longer being used for longitude.  The method I am using is clearly a variation of what was used for the latitude.  Here's an explicit clue: this sentence yields a zero.  You'll need basic math; something that is very simplistic.  Please don't give up, but retain a positive perspective.  This last sentence and piece of the puzzle is just that, and nothing more is required.


You can validate your solution with certitude.
