Geocache Description:

The second in a series of ten multi caches celebrating outdoor public art.

The above coordinates will put you in a parking lot where you can see a local piece of public art.
To find the cache, you need to answer a few questions based on the art and calculate the answer.

A. How many "characters" are depicted here?
B. Who donated this piece? BC Gov't = 0, Nisga'a Indian Band = 1, Jim Pattison = 2, Vancouver Canucks = 4.
C. The approximate height in feet: 10, 20, or 30 m. Use the first digit.
D. The total number of teeth you can see.

Now calculate: [{(D!/3.5C)+(A-C)}+50%B] X 3.6143

If you've read the logs for Outdoor Art #1, you should realize that I'm lousy at math problems and you might as well ignore this calculation because doing it will most likely put you no closer to finding the cache. Instead you could take a projection of 180 m at some degree setting I give you, but I'm even worse at projections than I am at math problems - so that's probably not a good idea either.
So here's what I think you should do....

Standing in front of the art, turn north and walk down to the end of the parking lot. Straight ahead almost(still north - more or less) you'll see a chain link fence running further north-ish. The cache is at the far end of this fence on the west side in a lonely cedar. Now you could try walking along the west side of the fence and see how that works out for you; but it looks kind of thorny and to be honest with you - I didn't go there. I wandered through the lot and out onto the street and down until I found the fence and the tree. If you see the number 29788, you're in the right spot. And it really is 180 m from the above coords according to the 3 gps's I was carrying.

Good luck!
