Geocache Description:

This is a puzzle cache. The cache is NOT at the posted location. You may have taken Algebra at the posted location if you went to FHS for high school though!

Algebra was a subject that you either loved or hated.  So, I guess the same can be said about this puzzle -- Love it or Hate it?


Solve the following puzzle to determine the correct cache location:

N 45 56.ABC  W 66 40.DEF

3A = A + 8
2B = 3A - 2
C/3 = A - 1
D = B - A
E = 5D - A
F = C - 2D - E

Check Sum North = 38, West = 24

Good luck and happy caching!

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

Please note that this cache is hidden in plain site. Please do not be reaching into unknown locations. Always put safety first!
