Geocache Description:


Welcome to the "The 12 Days of Cachemas", a cache series running from December 25 to January 5 modeled after a familiar Christmas song. Starting on December 25th, one new cache in this series will be released each day, until the song is complete. Each cache in this series will contain a clue. Collect all the clues in order to figure out the location of the final cache.
This is a simple puzzle in Henricus Park, in Chester (open dusk til dawn).... park near the boat ramp, at the posted coords and solve for the final stage! If you know your ABCs and 123s, this will be a piece of cake. First the riddle: What is the first number that has all of it's letters in alphabetical order? Let's call this "P" for Pipers! Next, ignore all those 22s in the posted coords, and just work with the last 3 digits of the North and West coords, to figure out the final. Ready? Take the last 3 digits of North, and subtract "P" - then subtract one fifth of "P". This is your new last 3 digits of North. West is easier, I promise! Take the last 3 digits of West, and subtract "P". This is your new last 3 digits of West. Now go find that ammo can, and feel free to take a rock, even if you don't have a trade item. Don't forget the clue for the final! Happy Holidays :)

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
