Geocache Description:




The posted coordinates will bring you to 3302 Grand Avenue, the boyhood home of boxing legend Muhammad Ali.  Ali's brith name was Cassius Marcellus Clay Jr.  He lived here with his parents Cassius Sr. and Odessa, as well as his younger brother Rudy.  Ali lived in this home through his teenage years as he attended Central High School near here.  

 

The home was opened to the public as a museum in 2016, but closed less than two years later due to a lack of financial support.  There have been rumors of it being moved to another city, but obviously that has not happened yet.  From the historical marker in front of the home, gather the information needed to solve for the final coordinates.

 

 

Let X = the first digit of the number on the bottom left of the sign (either side)

Let Y = the second digit of the date Ali was born

Let Z = the number of times Ali was heavyweight champion

 

The final is at N 38 15.ABC  W 085 46.DAE where:

A = X - 1

B = Y

C = Y + 1

D = X + Y

E = Z

 

The final is an easy P&G, very near Muhammad Ali Boulevard.
