Geocache Description:


Note. Slight Revision to the co-ords after feedback from early cachers, the puzzle below has been adjusted by about 20ft

The above co-ordinates are for a single car parking location, but please be very careful leaving this spot, you may want a fellow cacher to guide you out.

This cache is near to the location where the Staffordshire Hoard was found, you can see its location from here.

With that in mind let's have a Gold related puzzle.

A man invented the game of Chess and the King was so pleased that he offered the inventor a reward in Gold.

The inventor was a smart chap and suggested he take his reward in grains of wheat instead, by placing 1 grain of wheat on the first square of the chessboard, 2 grains on the second square, 4 on the 3rd square, 8 on the fourth square etc. etc.

How many grains of wheat did he get in total ?

xx,GJx,HxC,xIA,xxB,xxE,DxF

The cache can be found at N 52 AB.C(D+3)(E*3) W 001 FG.HIJ

You can check your answers for this puzzle on Geochecker.com.
