Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates


My teacher, Mr. Dixon, once gave us this math problem. He told us to draw three boxes and in each of those boxes he wanted us to put a single digit. Those digits would make up a three digit number.

 

Here is the problem, what is that number?

a. the number is NOT a prime number

b. the number has no zeros in it

c. the digit sum is six

d. the digits are in numerical order

e. the number has eight factors

and

f. nineteen is not a factor of the number

Submit that number into Certitude and if you are correct you will get the corrected coordinates


You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.

Thanks to The North Star, cachbefound and Gitonyerhorse for the inspiration for this puzzle
