Geocache Description:

The replacement for the much-muggled Market Madness; now with more madness, more market, more muggles and a great big muddle to solve. Bring magnet or tweezers. Nano. Super-Stealth at GZ; please move away to work on the log la!

I am Mr.Muddle. I have lost my nice new cache whilst out market shopping. Please help me find it somewhere near N22 19.(A+C+D+F); E114 10. (H+B+I, minus K, minus 2xJ). Or bearing (K, minus F, minus one), and (G+L +O+E + (3xF) + two) metres from my start point in Fa Yuen Street. I bought two hats at $127 each at the stall next-to, to the north, of Stall 232 (Stall no. = A); I gave a $500 note and got $236 back. I think I was short-changed (J). Then I went to T.S. Export Garment Outlet (Shop no. =B) where I bought a T-Shirt for $73, gave $100 note and got $14 back. After that I went to find 'New York Station' but could find no entrance and gave up (Shop no. = C) (please don't give up la). I bought shoes in 'J and S' in the south of Fa Yuen Street not Prince Edward Road, by a toy shop and a hairdressers for $450 on my credit card (Shop no.=H). I next went to shop number 197 and calculated the answer of the shop name (I). At stall no. 148 I bought 3 pairs of socks at $17 each, four pairs of shorts at $39 each and a phone case for $48, I gave $400 by mistake and in the muddle only got $145 change (short-change = O). Oh, there were just too many muggles, I mean muddles, I mean muggles...Then I got shouted at by staff in UNO for being so muddled (I was only trying on ladies panties and boots), and I phoned their management to complain (Total sum of the digits in the UNO hotline no.= (D)). Next I took a 90 min nap in Kam Tai Hotel at 46 to .... (E) Nullah Road at $59 per hour (paid by the minute), paid $100 and got $6.5 back (I know I got short-changed here =F). After that I went to see my mother, old Mrs Muddle, who has a 'screw loose', and whom I think lives at Maple Court (Building no. = N) in Fa Yuen St., to cry and have tea and have a cuddle wuddle. I remember getting a juice in the juice-only place in Fa Yuen Street on the corner of Bute and Fa Yuen (shop no. = G). I was getting so tired so I sat on a stool in the vacant 'fixed pitch' near 'Gold' on the opposite side of the road from J and S Shoes and was watched by the people in Homestyle (Pitch number of the vacant pitch = L). The total that I was short-changed on my trip is (K). I went somewhere else that I can't quite remember, maybe that is where I lost my nice new cache. Oh, what a muddle!!! I need your help!!! Please figure it all out to find the cache and let me know when you have found it. I suggest that you work out both sides of the puzzle to cross-check yourself. You may need a free geocaching app to do the projection. Google map is suggested rather than OSM.
