Ms. Kiki L'mur

A friend of Ms. Kiki L'mur, who is a geocacher, sent her a note: "I have a challenge for you. I have hidden a geocache at N40 57.abc W074 03.def. Can you find it? Use the following equations to solve for the missing numbers:

  • 4a-7b+2c+d+3e-4f=-8
  • a+b+c+d+e+f=39
  • -3a+6b+2c-4d+e+5f=23
  • a+3b-3c-2d+8e-3f=44
  • 5a+4b+7c+3d-2e-f=116
  • -2a+5b-c-4d+e+2f=1

Can YOU find the geocache? If you solve the puzzle and have no intention of finding the cache, write a note and comment on the puzzle itself!

Per the rules of geocaching, a Found It log must correspond to a signed logbook.

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

BONUS: the cache container will have written in it a note with part of the coordinate for the puzzle series bonus cache, of the form LETTER=COORDINATE PIECE. Save these pieces of the bonus coordinate for use in geocache GC3T0ZY.

Happy caching!
