Geocache Description:

Absolutely BOGUS coords. Don’t go there. You want the cache, solve the puzzle. Proper container in the proper place. Parking coords given in checker.



Puzzle stuff - The cache is about a 1.7 difficulty, but the puzzle is only a 1.3, so difficulty will be rated at '3' for total. Terrain, however, is rated a '3.5'. While some people I know might drive nearby, it's not quite that nice and the road can be tough depending on time of year. I made the approach about a '4', but sensible people will hopefully not do that.

3 men went to a hotel to rent a room, the cost of the room was $30. Each man paid $10 to the bellboy and proceeded to their room. After a little while the bellboy realized that there was a special on rooms that night and the price for the mens room should have been $25. On his way to the mens room to give them back $5 he was puzzled how he was going to split $5 as he had no change. He decided he would give them each $1 and keep the remaining $2 for himself. So each man originally paid $10, but after the bellboy gave each man $1 back, each man paid $9. 9 x 3 = $27 plus the $2 the bellboy put in his pocket equals $29. The original price for the room was $30. Where did the last dollar go?
