Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. Solve the puzzle below to determine the cache coordinates.

We've reached the middle of the year; so it seemed like the right time for this puzzle.

Special Notes about the 2014 Puzzle Challenge: To be considered for Fastest Solver points, you must verify your solution with certitude. All "point" scoring is arbitrary, subject to change, at the discretion of the cache owner, and probably completely meaningless (unless you just want to be announced sooner at the celebration party, and even that might not happen in the right order). The real challenge is just to see whether you can solve all of these caches by the end of the year. To maintain fairness, hints should not be offered by the cache owner or other solvers until the fifteenth of the month.


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
