Geocache Description:

The cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. The cache is a small container so bring your own pen


It's that time of year again, when all the kiddies are heading back to school.

For some of you this may have been only a few years ago (or maybe you are still in school), so this cache may be a little easier for you. For others it may be in the distant past and all you can remember are the glossed over fun times. But in reality, a lot of students found the first week a little stressing. Will I like my teacher, Do I remember what I learned last year ......

Well to remember those good times, lets go back, way back to your math class. I bet a lot of you sat in your math class and whined to the teacher "we'll never use this stuff, why do we have to learn it". Well, now you are going to use it!!!

Here are six math problems. Each problem is a stand-a-lone problem and the drawings are not to scale (We wouldn't want you to take shortcuts and take out a ruler or protractor and simply measure).

For each problem solve for x. (For problem 1, round to nearest whole number)

The cache is hidden at: N44 15.PQR W076 33.STU

PQR = the sum of the answers to problems 1,2,3

STU = the sum of the answers to problems 4,5,6

The following picture has nothing to do with the puzzle but may put you in the right frame of mind
