Geocache Description:

It's that time of year when even people who hate puzzles are happy to stay indoors and try to solve a few.
This one will take you to a cammo'd pill bottle, not at the posted coords but within a kilometer or two.

I often find that when I’m trying to solve someone else’s puzzles I come up with an interesting idea that doesn’t work at that time but gives me an idea (or two) for a future puzzle of my own. And off on a tangent I go, forgetting about the puzzle I was trying to solve.

Try this one, and if it gives you trouble, blame Matoune for “Counting Differently” (GC35Z5Y)

N: 85 3723 580 2364 6333 104 63662 05319

W: 15 4213 687 1152 4222 315 56461 61449 23767 77787

It's a self-contained puzzle, no Googling needed, nor any special knowledge or ability beyond grade 1 arithmetic (hint!!)

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

Congratulations to Lapinrose2 and Matoune for another awe-inspiring FTF, and to Snoozejade for his awe-inspiring driving ability.(lol)
