Geocache Description:

An interesting puzzle for this mystery cache. Easy as can be... Probably my easiest puzzle yet!

Note: The title of the cache is only a hint to where the cache is in town, it has nothing to do with the puzzle.


I found the following puzzle and thought it would be an interesting puzzle for a cache, it is a fun number puzzle:

Pick any four-digit number (ie digits ABCD). Punch the number twice into a calculator (ie ABCDABCD). Divide the number by 137, then divide the result by the original four-digit number. You will end up with a two-digit number that we will call XY.

Now use your answer to solve the final coords as follows:
N 44 36.X5Y W 75 41.5(XY-3) - that is subtract 3 from XY to get the last 2 digits of the "W" coords.

The cache is in a high muggle area so please use lots of stealth when hunting the cache. If you enter the area correctly you will be somewhat concealed from traffic while you hunt.

You are looking for a micro pill container a little larger than a film container, it is covered in black hockey tape. Please return the cache exactly as you found it. Bring a pen.



Enjoy the Hunt!!!
