Geocache Description:

Warning: when approaching the final cache be extremely careful for large pot holes and steep slopes; use good judgement.

I cannot stress this enough. BE CAREFUL! This is a fairly simple 2 stage that shouldn't take too long. The first stage is at the Oxford dictionary in the reference section of the Frankfort Public Library. Once you get to the dictionary look up the following words and do the following math problems by finding the words' page number and doing the simple math problem that goes along with it. Example:

Z= human – 48 ÷ 100 Z=8 Human’s page number is 848

Hint: each answer should be a single digit number.

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

W 87 49.DEF
