Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.


Here's an easy puzzle to solve in 2012!


Step 1: Solve this number puzzle; i.e. substitute the correct number for the letters, A,B,C,D,E,F,X, and Z.

Note that all numbers must be unique and E can not be zero!

  ABCD
+EFXB
EFCBZ

Step 2: Use these numbers in the following equations, to determine the cache coordinates.

Final cache coordinates are N 26 5a.bcd W 80 0e.fgh where;

a = B+E
b = D+F
c = D-Z
d = X-Z
e = A-2*Z
f = A-B-F
g = D-E
h = A-F


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

You are looking for a bison in a well-used area. Please use extreme stealth when retrieving and replacing the cache. The final is behind a bush; I suggest that you sneak behind it when no one is looking in your direction.
Although the final is available 7/24, I don't recommend searching for it after dark!

After you solve the puzzle, don't give the secret away; let others enjoy the frustration of working on it, and the joy of solving it!!

Congrats to Eye Cache for FTF!!
