Geocache Description:

Adults cannot do math. Can you?

Frankly, I am amazed... disappointed... at how many adults cannot do basic math. And that is not just this country either - there was even a Survivor Tocantins episode in which the contestants had to do some similar math. Not only did the organisers get the math wrong, the contestants also got it wrong the same way and so they survived the challenge. Sigh. No 12-year old would have made that mistake.

This cache is at: S 40° 21. ( 340 + 38 x 2 )' E 175° 37. ( 28 + 27 + 19 x 14 - 28 x 0.5 )'

It is not in a school, not in private property, not anywhere it shouldn't be, but it is in Palmerston North. If your first attempt at the math leads you to where the cache is not, are you willing to stand up, face the camera and the studio audience, and announce in your log: "I am not smarter than a 12-year old!"? FTF gets to FTF a new TB.
