Five Cachers


Put on your thinking cap!

Once upon a time, five geocachers (Alan, Beth, Chuck, Diane, and Ed) met at Geowoodstock where they became good friends. During their time together, they discovered that they live in cities that stretched to the far corners of the United States: Albuquerque, Boston, Chicago, Denver, and Erie. They also discovered that they had different numbers of hides: 35, 50, 65, 80, and 105; and finds 120, 150, 200, 350, and 500.

Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to determine which cacher hails from which city with how many hides and finds each has.

To help make this determination, we offer the following clues:



Once you have the answers, fill in the following table:

The cache is hidden at:
N 34° 00.XXX, where XXX = Diane's Finds + Beth's Finds + Ed's Hides - 10
W 84° 34.YYY, where YYY = Alan's Finds - Ed's Hides + 21

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