Geocache Description:

LUCK


As with most puzzle caches The final stage is NOT at the posted coordinates.
This is two stage puzzle cache with two field puzzles. Both stages are using regular size containers. Of course you must sign the log in the final stage in order to claim a find.

One can apply LUCK or SKILL, depending on what one has more of, to solve these puzzles!

Finding the first stage
Go to the posted coordinates. There you will find a sign with three words on it.
The coordinates of the first stage are N 45 06.ABC W 85 21.DEF
X = The total number of letters in the whole sign.
Y = The number of letters in the third word.

A = X - Y + 2
B = (2X + 2) - 4Y
C = Y / 2
D = (X + 1) / 4
E = Y - 8
F =(4X + 4) / Y
The check sum of the digits is 25

Finding the final stage
Instructions for finding the final stage are found on the inside cover of the first stage

Please play fair! Do not reveal solutions or methods in puzzle solutions in this geocache to anyone.....even if they beg.
