Geocache Description:

This is meant to be a fun, low-stress puzzle and find.  I have designed a series of trivia questions about a famous Canadian Tim.  All you have to do is answer the series of questions and then do some simple math.  Then, go out and find it.  The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  You must complete the puzzle and then the math in order to calculate the coordinates of the actual hide.





Find a numerical answer to each of the following questions.  You will need the answers to complete the math...

Questions:


a.  Tim was born in January of 1930.  On what day? (2 digit number)
b.  How many letters were in Tim's middle name? (1 digit number)
c.  For how many consecutive seasons did Tim play for the Maple Leafs? (2 digit number)
d.  What year did Tim start playing for the dreaded New York Rangers? (4 digit number)
e.  For how many years did Tim play on an all-star team? (1 digit number)
f.  How many cents in total did a coffee and a donut cost in Tim's store in 1964? (2 digit number)
g.  How many letters in the last name of the man who called Tim "Hockey's strongest man"? (1 digit number)
h.  In what year was Tim inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame? (4 digit number)

Math:

Take the following, meaningless North coordinates: N 43 35.020, and add (d - c - b - a)/1000 

Take the following, meaningless West coordinates: W 079 40.202, and add (h - g - f - e)/1000
