Geocache Description:


My previous puzzles have been about subjects I enjoy. This is no different. From the great poker movie Rounders comes the famous line spoken by Teddy KGB: 'Let's Play Some Cards!'  ***note you do not need to know anything about poker to play***

You are solving for coordinates:

N 039 01.ABC W 077 23.DEF

Here's what you need to do.

Look at the picture with six rows of cards with five cards in each row. using the four basic math symbols + x - / insert each symbol, in any order, in each row. Do the math from left to right each time and you get your answer. Each row could have a different order of each symbol and you will NEVER have a negative number or fraction at any time.

If you had 8 2 6 3 6 you could do 8-2/6x3+6 to get 9! 8-2= 6 6/6= 1 1x3= 3 3+6= 9 easy right?

Or you could do 8+2-6x3/6 to get 2! 8+2= 10 10-6= 4 4x3= 12 12/6= 2 just as easy right?

Aces are only counted as 1 in this game.
