Geocache Description:

Life's necessities. Gas, Water and Electricity. How did our forefathers manage without these utilities?

Imagine 100 utilities as per the picture. Number them 1 to 100.

All of them are turned off and closed. We now 'turn on' every single utility one by one. As a second pass we 'turn' every second utility. If the utility is on we turn it off, if the utility is off we turn it on. In the third pass we do the same but now with every third utility (so utility 3, 6, 9 etc). We repeat this process 100 times so for each run (n) we switch utility 1n, 2n, 3n etc.
If you can work out which utilities are 'switched on' at the end of it all, you will know where to find the cache.



There is no need to remove the whole camo; just remove the lid
