Geocache Description:

One of three puzzle caches published as teaching aids for the Mega Event puzzle solving workshop.

Mega Maths

The cache is not at the above co-ordinates, though you could go there to count cars.

To find the cache you could find the values of R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z, each of which represent a unique number between 1 and 9. Then do some simple maths.

The cache is at:

South  AB° CD.EFG
East  HIJ° KL.MNO
  where

Once you have worked out the numbers above, there is a wee bit more maths to do in order to find the cache. Please add 3 to the South and 8 to the East.

You are looking for a small round container.
Our thanks to Glyn for organising and co-ordinating the placement of this and other caches for Mega.
