Geocache Description:

This is a follow-up to the puzzle cache ManoQuations – GC3CN39.  Once again you are seeking 8 digits. The cache is at N45 1(A).(A+B) (B) (D-A+C)  W75 4(E).(F-E) (G/2) (H-F).

To get the 8 digits, simply determine the digital root of the total number of letters, after the given capital letters, of the two or three mystery words in each of the equations below. 

Sagelily’s kinder-gentler persona came up with solvable alternatives to some initially quite abstruse puzzles, and led to the following ambiguity-shattering example:

EXAMPLE
Equation: 26 = L in the A
Solution: 26 = Letters in the Alphabet, which yields 6 + 7 = 13, of which the digital root is 4.
Hint:  digital root of complete words “Letters” and “Alphabet” is 2.

A.  2 = S to E S

B.  3 = S of a T

C. 2 = C of the C F

D. 16 = R in a C E

E.  7 = C of the R

F.  40 = D of L

G.  3 = B on P H

H.  14 = C C in C
