Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.

As a break from all the Logic and Division Puzzles, here's something that's a little simpler. Have fun!!

A farmer gave his herd of sheep to his three sons, Andy, Jake and Chuck. Andy received 20% more than Jake, and 25% more than Chuck. Jake got 3,600 sheep. Determine how many sheep Chuck received, call it ABCD.

The cache can be found at N27 07.JKL W80 19.XYZ
where J=A+D-(B+C), K=A+C, L=A+B, X=D-C, Y=2*C-D and Z=C-A.

The cache is small so BYOP and please just write your id and the date.

This cache is hidden along a somewhat busy road, so park off the road and watch the traffic.

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.
