Geocache Description:




This Homework Nightmare cache is a companion puzzle to two other caches, Exam Nightmare and Piano Practice Nightmare . The solutions are completely different, but the spirit is the same.

You wake up from that horrible nightmare about exams and go look in on your child, who is doing arithmetic homework. Ah, you breathe a sigh of relief. Nothing ever changes in that subject. You have known how to do arithmetic since you were in grade school.

And yet, somehow all the addition problems on that homework sheet look very strange.

Surely, your child must be confused. Those certainly cannot be the right answers. Suddenly you realize you are in a new nightmare!

Even though the problems may look bizarre, the first six addition problems are answered correctly. All you have to do is answer the last six addition problems to get the cache coordinates.
