The cache is NOT located at the above coordinates, but is quite close.
To get the final coordinates, solve the numerical puzzle that follows:
The North Coordinates will be found in (O) by using N 34° 56. ___ ___ ___
and the West Coordinates will be revealed in (T) as W 082° 14. 0 ___ ___
(Permission for this cache placement has been given by Eddie)
Now, for the PUZZLE :
Pick a number, ANY number: ________.
(A) Add 100 to it = ________.
(B) From that result, Subtract your age = _______.
(C) To that, Add the number that represents the month you were born in = ______.
(D) Now, Multiply that result by 7 = _______.
(E) If you have any decimal places, remove them = _________.
(F) If this number is an "odd" number, (that is, not evenly divisible by 2) subtract 17 from it = _______.
(G) Add 300 to that result = __________.
(H) Now, DIVIDE this result by 2 = ______.
(I) Take the Last 3 digits of this result and write them here: ___ ___ ___.
(J) Now, Modify that number by rearranging its digits so the Largest digit is First, its Next largest digit is 2nd, and its Smallest digit is 3rd (If all 3 digits are the same number, first add 100) ___ ___ ___ .
(K) Now, Modify That number by making its 1st digit its 3rd, and making its 3rd digit be its 1st, while its 2nd digit remains unchanged = ___ ___ ___ .
(L) Subtract the number result in (K) from the result in (J) (J-K = L) = _________.
(M) Modify THAT result by making its 1st digit be its 3rd, and its 3rd digit be its 1st, again, while its 2nd digit remains unchanged = ___ ___ ___.
(N) Add the result in (M) to the result in (L): (M+L = N) = __________ .
To get the last 3 digits of the North Coordinate:
(O) Subtract 180 from the result in (N) =___ ___ ___.
This gives the last 3 digits of the North Coordinate ( N = 34° 56 . ___ ___ ___ ).
For the West Coordinate:
(P) Divide the result found in (N) by 3 = __________.
(Q) Subtract 17 = ___ ___ ___ .
(R) Divide that result by 2 = ___ ___ ___
(S) Subtract 20 from that result = ___ ___ ___.
(T) Divide that result by 3 = ___ ___.
Place these 2 digits in the formula: ( W 082° 14 . 0 ___ ___ ).
Now you should have the final coordinates.
