Geocache Description:

A simple offset cache requiring any simple calculator

A neat twist on Geocaching. Malak and I have essentially "Traded Places". Malak has hidden this cache in the Ottawa area for me and I in turn have hidden one for him in the Montreal area: Iced Tea 16 Trading Places ... East

Go to the listed coordinates. You'll find a small blue sign. Spell that word on your upside-down calculator (as in, when your calculator is flipped upside down, you can read that word on the screen.) The number required to do that will then be needed to calculate the parking and cache locations.

Parking: Add the number to 13565, and then the number to 11392. Then add a decimal point to these numbers such that you have the xx.xxx format. These two numbers are respectively the minutes for N45 and W075.

Cache location: Add the number to 13453, and then the number to 11456. Then add a decimal point to these numbers such that you have the xx.xxx format. These two numbers are respectively the minutes for N45 and W075.

NOTE: For this exercise use UPPER CASE letters only.
