Geocache Description:


The coordinates are not where the container is located, but it is located in the same park. 

While I have been driving around Flower Mound, I have noticed that on some of their street signs there are random stickers with numbers. They are all over town, but not on every sign, and I have always wondered what they are for. This multi-stage cache will take you on a tour of some of these signs. You will need to write the numbers down to solve for the final coordinates (the stage notes tell you what letter it is for and what kind of sign you are looking for). You will also need to break out some of that basic math you learned long ago and thought you would never use again. Finally, if anyone knows what these numbers are actually for, that would be great to know too. 

BIG HINT: You can get all the numbers from your desk using Google Maps (hope you read this before trying this from the field). Please let me know if the Google Map image changes and the number is no longer there (I have seen these stickers disappear from the signs). 

Using the numbers you have gathered, you will now how have to solve for the final coordinates. Remember, it should put you close to the original cache map point.

N WW° UU.VVV
W XX° YY.ZZZ

WW = B + C
UU = B + E + 2D
VVV = 27A + 2

XX = (8F + 203) / 3
YY = i²(15) + B
ZZZ = 5(A + B + C + D + E + F) + (A + B + E + F)
