Geocache Description:

Welcome to the Highlands East Howler GeoArt Series!
The cache is not at the posted coordinates.
You will have to solve the puzzle to determine the correct coordinates.


The Highlands East Howler is a collection of 99 puzzle caches nestled in the
Geocaching Capital of Canada creating our howling wolf.
In order to solve the puzzles in this series it will be necessary to go on six fact finding missions.


All the details for the missions are HERE.

A bonus cache awaits you (GC64E7E) if you collect information from all 99 caches.

The Frog

A frog is at the bottom of a 30 meter well. Each day he summons enough energy for one 3 meter leap up the well. Exhausted, he then hangs there for the rest of the day. At night, while he is asleep, he slips 2 meters backwards.
How many days does it take him to escape from the well?
Note: Assume after the first leap that his hind legs are exactly three meters up the well. His hind legs must clear the well for him to escape.

PUT YOUR ANSWER INTO THE CHECKER BY USING THE ENCODED NUMBER FROM YOUR ANSWER CHART, NO SPACES.

A project of Geocaching Capital of Canada in the Municipality of Highlands East.



You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
