KIDS

(Leo) "Cleo, long time no see!"
(Cleo) "Hey Leo, how are things?"
(Leo) "Things are well. My two pre-school boys Timmy and Jimmy are growing quickly."
(Cleo) "How old are they?"
(Leo) "The product of their age is equal to the number of pigeons next to this bench."
(Cleo) "Hmmm, this information is not enough."
(Leo) "Well, my older boy Timmy looks just like his mom."
(Cleo) "Okay, now I know the answer."

How old are the boys? (For our purposes, "preschool" means younger than 7).
Timmy's age = A ___
Jimmy's age = B ___

THE CAR

Cimsagro bought a car from Atacm for $600, and then sold it to Mom-n-Andy for $800. He later bought it back for $1000 and then sold it to ttomw for $1200.
How much profit did Cimsagro make?

The first number of your answer = C ___

SOCKS

Hale-Storm has a drawer full of socks. Without discussing the aroma that lingers within, Hale-Storm has 5 pairs of blue socks, 4 pairs of white socks, and 6 pairs of black socks. Hale-Storm wakes up early to sneak out of the house, and so as not to wake up Nan-Sea he keeps the lights off. In the total darkness, how many socks would Hale-Storm need to pull out to be certain of a matching pair of the same color?

Answer = D ___

GLOVES

That very same morning up in Webster, Wheelygood is waking up early to go kayaking with DMack and TGG at sunrise. He doesn't wish to wake the Wheely Woman but he wants to grab a pair of gloves due to the cold lake air. So in the darkness Wheely opens his box of gloves where he has 6 pairs of black gloves and 6 pairs of brown gloves. In the darkness how many gloves must he take from the bin in order to be sure to get a matching pair that he can wear that morning?"

Answer = E ___


Now solve for the coordinates with the following:

N 43 1S.TUV
W 077 3W.XYZ

S= A + D - C + B - 5
T= (A + C + D) ÷ 2
U= (E + C - B - 10) ÷ 2
V= 2 + B + C - D
W= (A + B + C + D + B) ÷ 2
X= D + B + 6 - A
Y= A + D + C + B - E
Z= D + B - A - 1

Park north of the cache and enjoy the views during your walk in this awesome area!
