Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted cords.

Solve the puzzle and then go find the cache.

One night as we were sitting down to dinner, the Giggleboys started having a conversation. Eyes alight with pleasure, they thought they were pulling one-over. As it turned out, it took me a minute to catch on to their plotting, but they had their Daddy baffled. Since then, the thought was in the back of their minds to make a puzzle. So when the opportunity arose to do so, it was inacted.

A) Deven had a bunch of toy cars, but only 22 of them were special. After much contemplation, he decided he'd give his brother R of them. How many special cars did Deven have left?

B) Chris started the day with H cookies, stolen quite secretly and most quickly from the jar on top of the refridgerator. He might not be tall enough to reach, but he knows how to use a chair. So he wouldn't get in trouble for eating them all, he gave 2 to his brother. How many cookies did Chris have left to eat?

C) Deven went to the store with 52 hard-earned and well-deserved dollars. Because he is a very generous kiddo, he spent U dollars on presents for others in his family. How many dollars did he have left for himself?

D) Chris made 15 snow balls, in early March of this year while his Mommy was shoveling the walkway. His brother came outside to help, and Chris threw N of them at him. How many snow balls did Chris have left to torture people with?

E) Deven was picking wildflowers in a field on top of a mountain while out exploring with the family. He picked 10 yellow flowers, but then realized they were actually Buttercups. Since he knows his Mommy really likes them, he gave J of them to her. How many did he have left?

F) While doing homework in his bedroom, Chris got distracted and started counting things on his desk. He realized he had K pencils! Ecstatic, he ran out to tell his brother, which made his brother curious. After doing a quick count of the pencils in his binder, his brother realized he only had 7 pencils. How many more pencils did Chris have than his brother?

G) Deven started the day with Q jelly beans. He snuck them from the candy bucket left over from Halloween, 'cause candy does not disappear fast around here due to lack of cravings. By the end of the day he had eaten 16 of them. How many did he have left?

H) The Trackable Truckable carrying the Giggleboys drove 57 miles in the morning before stopping for lunch. (They got a late start! ) After lunch they drove X miles more, before stopping at a rest area where they found a Geocache and got a brief leg-stretcher. How many miles total did they drive before they got the smiley face?
