Geocache Description:


As of March 16, 2020 - this cache has moved to a new location. The puzzle and checker have been updated.  If you have the old coordinates, please either solve again (1-2 minutes) or contact me (??? timeframe) for updated ones. Thanks.

 

For this puzzle, you will have to use digital rooting; you can either use a computer or basic addition to solve this puzzle J
123,456
would be 1+2+3+4+5+6= 21
unfortunately the digital root must be a single digit, therefore you must again add the digits together

2+1=3


 

Making 3 the digit root of 123456
If you understand this then you'll be able to solve the majority of caches that use this method. Most caches using this method either go straight to the answer, or give you a final set of numbers. However, for the sake of this example, we'll go straight to the answer for this. So here we go, good luck.

N 44 07.ABC
 W 077 22.DEF
