Geocache Description:

***Updated, easier puzzle. 7-22-15***

   The cache is not at the posted coords. These coords will be a good place to park. Since this is my first unknown cache and because of it's location(southbound rest stop on I-79), I am making this a simple puzzle. Even if you are just passing through, the answers should take you no longer than five minutes to find, if you have a smart phone.  

Congratulations to Butterhopper on her second first to find of the day.

 I think tigers are beautiful creatures and it is a shame that 3 of the 9 subspecies are already extinct. To claim this smiley you will have to learn about them. The Siberian tiger is the largest living subspecies but has the fewest stripes, the Sumatran tiger on the other hand, is the smallest living subspecies and has the most stripes. Tigers are usually solitary animals, so other than mother with cubs, which typically weigh between two and three pounds at birth, they are mostly alone. This is an advantage when it comes to hunting because of their large size. Tigers are excellent swimmers and can swim across rivers over 4 miles wide to look for food.

The cache is located at:

N 39 18.9BC W 080 15.21F

Answer the following questions to get the final coords.

B. How many of these subspecies have not yet become extinct?
C. A group of tigers is called a ___. 2-pride 1-herd 0-streak
F. Tigers and all other big cats have round pupils. T=3 F=9
