Geocache Description:

THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE LISTED COORDINATES BUT WITHIN 3 KM

This attack dog has been marauding the residents of Burnaby since he was born.  He recently bit Chico (of chico and the mrs) causing permanent body damage. You can find his secret hiding spot by correctly determining the age of this puppy in days. So, how many days old is this vicious animal ?

PLEASE NOTE THIS CACHE IS WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE




SOLVE THIS PUZZLE

The puppy is more than 18 days old. What is his age in days since his birth?

OK, now double it and add 270.

Multiply by 5.

Calculate his age in days minus 18. Subtract this from the number above.

Take a deep breath. Now divide by 9

Then add the number of days until his 200th day of life. Have a break and take a few deep breaths

You should now have a 3 digit number. Put a decimal at the beginning and subtract this amount ( .xxx ) from the North minutes coordinate.

No change is necessary for the West coordinate.

You are all set now to go find the dog that has terrorized the neighbourhood

If you find yourself in rough or steep terrain you are in quite the wrong place..
