I thought that I would put out my own twist on a word search puzzle. Since my name is Geodude2008, I thought that I'd put out a number search puzzle. All you have to do is find all the 2008's in the grid. Once you've done that, just count up the leftover 2's, 0's, and 8's. Then more fun with numbers (some simple math). The numbers are forwards, backwards, up, down, diagonal in any direction, and numbers can be used more than once. 2 0 0 8 0 0 2 0 0 2 2 0 0 8 0 0 2 0 0 8 0 0 8 2 2 0 0 2 0 0 8 2 0 0 8 0 0 2 8 2 0 2 0 0 0 8 0 0 2 2 0 0 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 8 0 8 0 0 8 0 0 2 2 2 0 2 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 8 2 8 2 2 8 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 2 2 8 2 2 8 0 0 2 0 0 0 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 8 0 0 0 0 2 0 8 0 0 2 8 8 0 8 8 2 0 0 0 0 8 0 0 0 8 2 0 2 8 8 0 8 8 0 0 2 0 0 8 0 0 2 8 2 8 0 0 2 0 0 0 8 0 0 2 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 2 0 0 0 2 8 0 8 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 8 2 0 2 8 8 0 8 0 0 2 0 2 2 2 8 2 2 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 2 2 0 0 8 0 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 0 2 0 0 8 2 0 0 0 0 8 8 0 0 2 8 0 0 2 8 0 0 2 8 0 2 0 0 8 0 0 2 8 2 8 8 0 0 0 0 8 0 0 2 0 2 2 0 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 8 0 0 2 0 0 8 0 0 2 0 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 8 2 2 2 2 0 2 8 0 0 2 2 2 2 2 8 2 2 8 2 8 0 0 2 0 2 2 0 0 8 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 2 8 2 0 0 8 2 0 0 8 0 0 0 0 8 0 0 0 8 0 0 2 8 8 8 2 2 0 0 8 2 8 8 2 0 0 8 0 0 2 8 2 AA = total number of leftover 2's, 0's and 8's BBBB = the number of leftover 2's multiplied by the number of leftover 0's multiplied by the number of leftover 8's. CCC = the number of leftover 2's multiplied by the number of leftover 0's. DDD = the number of leftover 8's multiplied by the number of leftover 2's. EEE = CCC + DDD - (AA * 4) - 24 FFF = CCC + DDD + EEE GGG = BBBB - (CCC + DDD + EEE + FFF) + AA Final Coordinates are N45 30.000 + (GGG - 251) W123 00.000 + (GGG * 3) + 378 You can check your answers with the geochecker: http://www.geochecker.com/index.php?code=4fa23d30152781cc7fba16dce660ccd7&action=check&wp=474335414a4759&name=46756e2077697468204e756d62657273
