Geocache Description:


Since we are gradually going torwards our old normal, it's time for kids to get back in the classroom. This cache is based off that. There are math questions, history questions, and a lock on the final, so buckle up for some FUN!

Don't start at the posted coordinates. To get the coordinates you will have to answer these questions and fit them in. 

N48 29.ABC W123 23.DEF 

What year did World War 1 end? Take the year and subtract 1548 = ABC

25 times 21 plus 14 = DEF

Once you have these coordinates, go there and find a micro container. It will contain coordinates that you will go to next. 

Once you are at the new coordinates, you will see 3 signs on a pole. (You should be on the WEST side of the road.) Look at the sign and answer these next questions to get the final coordinates. 

N48 29.ABC W123 24.DEF 

On the white sign, there is a bylaw number. Take the digits from the number and add them up. Then divide that new number into the YEAR Pierre Trudeau started his first term as Prime Minister of Canada. Then add 536.6 = ABC 

On the top sign, how many things aren't allowed? Multiply that by 20 then subtract 1 = DEF

Now that you have the final coordinates, go ahead and find it. The final has a lock on it so you should probably look at the hint! GOOD LUCK and HAVE FUN!

The lock on the final is kind of hard to put back on the cache so please try your absolute hardest to make it work. As well, please hide both physical containers back just as found.
