Geocache Description:


These coordinates will bring you to the parking lot of Bala Cynwyd Park. This park is a fond place of memories for me and my family as we go often to play frisbee. The park contains two baseball fields, a tennis court, a playground and swings, and even a magical bridge. Now the park contains one more thing, a brand new geocache!

To solve this puzzle you are going to have to find the missing letters, turn the letters into numbers based on their numerical position in the alphabet, add/subtract them from the given numbers, and lastly plug them back into the coordinates.

You will be given the subject as well as space which the letter should be.

E.g.  Time: S M H D [ ] Y

Once you figure out that the letters refer to, seconds, minutes, hours, days, and years you can deduce that the missing letter is M for months.
You then convert the letter (in this case M) to its alphabetical number equivalent (in this case 13).

Secondly,  you take the number and solve the equation which will be directly below the arranged letters.

Time: S M H D [ ] Y
 _13__ + 5 = 18 => A = 18

 

Lastly, once you solve ABC and DEF you put the numbers back into the coordinates and go find the cache.
