Geocache Description:

CONGRATULATIONS AND THANK YOU FOR FINDING ALL TEN CACHES IN MY "KID'S KACHE SERIES".
This bonus container coordinates are determined using codes from the ten containers in the series and the equations below.

THERE IS A HANDMADE PRIZE FOR THE FIRST TEN FINDERS OF THIS BONUS CONTAINER, PLEASE ONLY TAKE ONE PER LOGGING FINDER SO THERE ARE ENOUGH TO GO AROUND. THANK YOU.

This should not be difficult, you have found the ten caches in the series and I want you to find this bonus easily!


The bonus cache contaner is at N44 QR.STU W93 VW.XYZ.

Use the following equations to determine the numbers for QR.STU and VW.XYZ


This is straightforward math. Do the function within the parentheses first, then add or subtract the last digit from that result. You may get a negative number in the parenthetical function, but the final answers are all between 0-9, whole numbers.

Q = G - C
R = F + I
S = J - H
T = (E - A) + C
U = D + G

V = (J - H) - D
W = I + C
X = (G - J) + B
Y = A + H + B
Z = E - I




You can validate your puzzle solution in the format QRSTUVWXYZ with certitude. So enter your answers for the equations, all in a string, no spaces or decimals, and if correct the checker will give the entire coordinates. But you can also just place the decimals in the right spots you'll have the coordinates anyway. That is to say, this can be found even if you don't use Certitude.
