Geocache Description:


The Clown's House #3
May I Take Your ORDER?


The Posted Coordinates Are Not Real!
It is the place to be, though, if you want to solve the real coordinates.


This is the third installment of Mrs. AllWeather’s “Clown’s House” series. Her birthday is on June 23rd, which occurred during the weekend that this cache was placed. She figured, what would be better than a clown at a party on her birthday but another house of the clown, himself. And so it is.


This time, you will have to solve a puzzle. It’s not an extremely difficult puzzle but it is still a puzzle that will require you to be at the right place in order to solve it and have the ability to do some math.


Permission has been granted for this cache and the store manager of the nearby restaurant is aware of geocaching and this placement. However, be advised, as with the other Clown’s Houses, muggle activity can be high at times so please be careful and be stealthy.



Congratulations to pens66 for FTF!!


In order to solve the puzzle, make your way to the area of the posted coordinates. Once there, count the items below and solve the math to reveal the coordinates.



N 40 09.(F + E2 x F) ÷ G x C + D(E + F)
W 075 53.G2(F2 x C + A2 ÷ H) ÷ F2 + F2[(F2 x C + F) ÷ B ÷ F]


A = The number of the clown’s favorite color arches on the building
B = The number of tables on the clown’s patio
C = The number of doors that lead into the clown’s house (only the outside customer doors)
D = The number of drive thru lanes
E = The total number of parking spaces in the small parking lot, surrounding the clown’s house
F = The number of handicapped parking spaces
G = The number of little pines behind the clown’s trash corral (all of the little pines)
H = The largest arch in the parking lot of the clown’s house kind of reminds one of a telescopic geo-tool. If it were a telescopic geo-tool, how many extensions are there? (including the base)
