Geocache Description:

Get to the Choppa!

This is a quick multi in Bloomington, Minnesota. Can you get to the choppa? Arnold Schwarzenegger impressions are optional.


Here is your mission, soldier.

Step one is to GET TO THE CHOPPA! Once there, observe the numbers on the signs around you. Using these numbers, you'll be able to decipher the coordinates to the next stage.

Here are the observations you must perform to get the coordinates:

A = The month the helicopter was presented
B = The day the helicopter was presented
C = The year the helicopter was presented
D = The number of letters in the name of the person to whom the helicopter was presented

Then, here are the calculations you must perform:

To solve for "X", do the following:
Take A and multiply it by 40. Then, add 8.

To solve for "Y", do the following:
Take C and subtract B from it. Divide the result by 2. Subtract D from that, and then divide THAT number by 2. Finally, subtract 18 from the result.

Once you solved that, here is the location of the next stage:

N 44 50.X
W 093 15.Y

NOTE: Please place the cache back in the exact spot where you found it. Thank you in advance.

Congrats to teetertr and butcherandswimmer on the $2 prize for FTF!

There you go, soldier! Move it! GET TO THE CHOPPA!
