Geocache Description:

Found this nice spot for a cache. It is easy to find but will take some work to open. You will need to brush up on your MATH if you want to see what's inside the cache and sign the log to get your smiley. 


I placed a First to Find Micro Award to the lucky cacher who is the first to find and open. I also started out with a Texas TB and lot of SWAG. Any TB's left here will be safe from the elements and will be moved along to other caches. Happy Hunting.

In order to open the combination lock you will have to know your MATH. There are 4 dials with 10 digits each to make up a 4 digit combination. The MATH  would be 10X10X10X10 = 10,000 possible combinations. You could sit and try all 10,000 possibles or do the MATH questions to get the combination.

The combination is:

(1) 3 X 5 - 2 =  ?

(2) 15 + 12 - 26 = ?

(3) 5 X 10 - 30 = ?

(4) 88 - 78 - 2 = ? 

Please replace the lock correctly and spin the dials so the next geocacher can give it a spin to win. Enjoy
