Geocache Description:


The cache is not at the posted coordinates. It is not too far from the location in the picture.


.

Over the years we had great times caching, meeting for coffee and hanging out.

Dave had many passions, among them were geocaching, games, puzzles, math and music.

This geocache contains games, math, a puzzle and will even remind you of a song if you think hard enough.

Once you locate the starting point you will need to collect some information and do some simple calculations.

 

# of Blue  Buttons = A

# of Silver  Buttons = B

# of Silver Thimbles = C

# of Checker Boards = D

# of Chess Boards = E

# of Concrete Spools = F

# of Concrete Spools with Purple Thread = G

 

Now for some math:

 

3(A+B+C+D+E+F+G) = H

H/1000 = X

 

Add X to both of the meaningless North and South coordinates to get the final location:

N43 15.151

W79 48.223

 

Congratulations HammerAubs for the FTF
