Geocache Description:

This geocache is not at the posted coordinates!  You must solve the puzzle to get the real location.
My oldest cub has decided she would like to place a geocache of her very own.  This is it!  She designed the container, she came up with the puzzle, she found the location.  I was with her every step of the way, including verifying that her hidden container can be safely retrieved by an adult, but it is all her work.

Congrats to JCFinder, stickers25, and lightsaber93/4 for the dashing co-FTF! You can say with pride that you are as smart as a 2nd grader!
This is my crazy smart six year old's first cache creation.  She did the work from start to finish, including purchasing the cache container, modifying it to be suitable as a cache container, finding the location, positioning the cache, designing the puzzle, and even creating the background image for the cache page!  I verified all of the puzzles for her, helped her fine tune the location so that it is accurate, typed up her dictated words, and ensured that she was following geocaching guidelines in placing the cache.  She did the rest, which as noted above was most of the work.

The container is a micro, I am sad to admit, but the puzzle isn't micro nor will the retrieval be.  You will see why!

Solve the following math puzzles designed by my 6 year old cub to retrieve the actual coordinates for the cache.  Be prepared to stretch to get to the container!  Provided coordinates are for a nearby street you can park on to walk to the real location.

The geocache is at the following coordinates:  N  A B.C  W D E.F

A = 20 + 19
B = X * VII - XXX - X + VII
C = EIB
D = L + C - L + IV
E = C - V + M - D - D - L
F = the 165th prime number + 1

Happy solving!
