Geocache Description:

This is a quick two-step cache designed to draw cachers to see a little-known piece of public art in downtown Anchorage. Once at the artwork, you can find the answers to a formula that gives you the coordinates to the small-size cache hidden about a five minute walk away.

1. Travel to the listed coordinates and there you will find some public artwork. Take your time to appreciate the art and take some photos. Notice the little details above the east framework arch. Then find the dedication signage and use it to figure out the final coordinates of the cache container with the formula:

N 61° 13.(B)(A)(A) W 149° 53.06(A+B) :
A = Percentage listed on dedication plate
B = Last digit in year the artwork was dedicated

You can check your answers for this puzzle on GeoChecker.com.

2. Walk or drive to the final cache location and find the small-size cache, sign the log scroll, and get your smiley!
