Geocache Description:

I can read minds.

Really!


I know JUST what you're thinking right now ...

... that I can't possibly read your mind.

Ha ha.

So I'll prove it.

Pick a number between one and six.

If your number is even, divide it by two. If it is odd, multiply it by three and add one. Apply this rule to each new number you obtain for (... I don't know - let's make this tough for me) 9 steps.

For example, if you chose number 1, it's an odd number, so multiply by 3 and add 1 to get 4. This is an even number, so divide by 2 to get 2. Keep doing that for 9 steps total, keeping track of the numbers you get each step.

Now take the numbers you obtained on the last three steps and add them together. Call that new number A. Now subtract .AAA from the published north and west coordinates, and go there. I've left a surprise for you there.

Amazing!

Be sure to verify your answer in the checker - there's more interesting information there.
