Geocache Description:

Another cache to be found in an interesting small well-kept out of the way cemetery Pictou County.

As we were coming back from finding "Just 4 Luck" cache, we spotted this nice well-kept small cemetery.

The interesting thing about this cemetery was that all the names on the grave stones were either "Sutherland" or "McKay" except for two other names.

Lets make this an easy puzzle cache to be different. You will need to get the following information by visiting the cemetery:

A = How many gravestones have the name "Sutherland" on them? (Just the number of gravestones, not the number of Sutherlands)

B = How many gravestones have the name "McKay" on them? (Just the number of gravestones, not the number of McKay's)

C = How many gravestones have the name "McIntosh" on them? (Just the number of gravestones)

D = How many gravestones have the name "Ferguson" on them? (Just the number of gravestones)

E = What are the total number of gravestones within the fence area of this cemetery (both standing and lying on the ground)

Now solve the following formula for the final cache location: - did I mention already that you will be using UTM coordinates to solve for the final cache location?

Formula:

"F" = (A + E) X (B + C + D)

Using the following UTM coordinates:

20T E 0506905 N 5048735

Solve for the final cache location coordinates as follows:

"Easting": Add the result ("F") to the Easting coordinate, above, to get the Easting coordinate for the final cache location

"Northing": Subtract the result ("F") from the above Northing coordinate, above, to get the Northing coordinate for the final cache location.

Now go for the cache - Good Luck
