Geocache Description:

…assisted by the Killah Kats. They had one of their Dawg containers that they didn’t know what to do with so they gave it to me and here you go. Since I archived my Puzzler cache, I wanted to place another puzzle cache. This one is waaaay easy. No checker needed. Cache is obviously not at the published coordinates. Log must by PHYSICALLY SIGNED (bring your own pen) to claim credit for the find.


Although it would be impossible to pin down the exact origin of chairs, armchairs were rare symbols of dignity and power for thousands of years. Most common people would probably never take a seat in an armchair. Instead of armchairs, commoners most often sat on stools, benches or on the floor. Armchairs in ancient Egypt were extremely fine and ornate and reserved for governors, Pharaohs or other people in high public office. These armchairs were often made of fine materials, such as ivory, crafted wood or precious metals. Although they differed in grandeur, armchairs were reserved for the financial and social elite in nearly every culture.


In Europe, the armchair finally began to reach the chair-less public thanks to the Renaissance. As artisans and craftsmen became more common, more and more armchairs were available for anyone who was willing to pay for one. Armchairs became the sitting-furniture of choice almost immediately. They remain so popular today that people can hardly imagine a life without armchairs.


After the European Renaissance put armchairs in most homes, armchairs experienced a renaissance of their own in the 20th century. Modern armchairs like the recliner became popular, and many sleek arm chairs were ergonomically designed. There are now armchairs made of pretty much every material imaginable. The designs of armchairs widely vary from the same plain wooden armchairs once reserved for the rich and powerful to finely upholstered armchairs with intricate designs.


THE PUZZLE:

Add the number of arms in an armchair to each of the last three digits of both tne North and West coordinates as published. That's it. There is plenty of parking just east of the cache.
