Geocache Description:


THIS CHALLENGE REQUIRES A 9-VOLT BATTERY!

.

Cache code = 4295

.

"Please Excuse My Dear Aunt Sally"

.

"People Eat More Donuts After School"

.

Whatever mnemonic you used in elementary school to remember the order of operations, now is the time to dust off those mathematical skills and give this challenge a try! Locating GZ is the easy part; solving the puzzle will be trickier...

.

Please come with a fully charged battery as you may struggle through a few attempts at the challenge before solving it. The LCD may be slightly challenging to read during the day (making for a great night cache, but any time of the day works fine). GZ is plenty secluded, so don't feel rushed by the field puzzle in fear of muggles. If you find yourself truly stumped, use the hint!

.

Please park at the elementary school just down the street. The cache is accessible from the road, but please do not try to park on the street! Cache is in private woods just off the road with full permission from the property owner.
