Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the given co-ordinates. Please don't go there, you will get very wet.

This is a nice easy puzzle. It's so easy peasy even I can do it! No hours of gawping at Google or wending your weary way through Wikipedia! All you have to do is Think of a couple of numbers.

The cache is a tube 14cm long.(No room for swaps). Please bring a pen/cil. Parking is available at the cache.

A. Think of a number.

Double it = Add 9 = Subtract 3 = Divide by 2 = Subtract your original number. You should have a single digit number. Call this number a

B. Think of another number.

Add 4 = then multiply the result by 4 = Subtract 8 = then divide the result by 4 = take away your original number. You should have a single digit number. Now call this answer b.

C. Now think of the number of geocaches you have found.

Add 7 = Multiply by 2 = Subtract 4 = then divide the result by 2 = Subtract the original number you thought of. You should have another single digit number. Call this answer c.

D. Now think of a decimal number (eg 1234.567 or 1.23 - anything you like.)

Subtract 1 = multiply by 3 = add 12 = divide by 3 = add 5 = take away your original number. You should have a single digit number. Call this number d.

E. Last one. Think of any number.

Multiply by 3 = add 45 = double it = divide by six = take away your original number. This time you should have a double digit number. Add the two digits together. (eg if your answer is 12 then the result would be 3.) Call this number e.

You should now have numbers for a, b, c, d and e.

f = e-c

g = d+f

h = e-b

j = g-d-f

k = h+a

The cache can be found at N 51 be.g(c+f)(d-e) W 003 f(g-k).(a+b)(e+f)(c+b)

Please check that the container is secure and not visible when you return it. Thank you, and happy caching.
