Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the listed coordinates. EASY puzzle.

This cache is designed to be kid friendly, even the puzzle (with a calculator). The final is just over my limit for a regular sized cache, so I'm calling it a large. It will easily hold an array of swag, TBs, and geocoins.

You will be solving for the x in the West coordinates (W 104 49.x). The North's are already correct. Take the GC code of this cache (GC3H2TP) as change it into a big number by finding the position that the letters in the code are in the alphabet (A=1, B=2, C=3, ect.) and keeping the numbers the way they are. Keep you numbers in the order of the code, and you will get a 9 digit number.

Divide this number by 1000000. It will obviously have a decimal to it. Round to the nearest whole number. The individual digits of this whole number should add up to 14. Take the number you got and subtract it from the posted West seconds. This number's individual digits add up to 13. Now, to get "x", take the number you just got and subtract 119. You now have "x."

Watch for the barbed wire, good luck, and have fun!
