Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates! Solve the puzzle below to find the final location of the cache! BYOP!

Located in Maryville is a nice roundabout filled with signs all around it. You can see everything from yield signs to street name signs. In order to find the location of the cache you will have to do some sign math (Don't freak out I'm awful at math and can do this puzzle). There are 23 signs total surrounding the roundabout. DONT count the historical downtown Maryville sign in this puzzle, just basic road and street signs. Using the 23 signs when you go to the roundabout you will be able to solve and answer the questions below! Once you get the coordinates you will be searching for a small camo round container. Just a log only, but still a nice fun cache to do.

N 35 4A.EBH
W 83 5G.DFC

A) Number of yellow signs minus 4 = A

B) Number of street name signs Plus number of cross walks minus 2 = B

C) Number of yellow signs minus number of one way signs plus 2 = C

D) Number of cross walks plus number of one way signs plus number of street name signs plus number of yield signs minus number of yellow signs and then minus 4 =D

E) Number of arrows minus number of signs total plus number of street name signs minus 2 = E

F) Number of signs total plus number of yield signs minus number of yellow signs then divided by 2 = F

G) Number of yield signs multiply by 3 plus number of arrows plus number of cross walks minus one then divide by 6 = G

H) Number of arrows plus number of one way signs then divide by 7 = H
