Geocache Description:


This is a puzzle cache. You will not find the cache at the published coordinates. Please do not go there. You will get run over.

Recently the Hutt Valley was lucky enough to have twenty-six new geocaches published, one for each letter of the alphabet. They arrived in no discernible order over the course of a few months. Each was hidden in a different location associated with it's letter of the alphabet and had me running in circles all over the place. I enjoyed finding all of the series very much.

As a tribute to this series, here is a puzzle. You do not need to have found all of the geocaches in the A-Z of Lower Hutt series to solve it, but you should.

SOUTH: 41 (M * L * S + (K * E) - F + V) / ((I - (R + D) / Q - G) * T)
EAST: 174 (X * P * (Z + H + Y + B) - N + U) / (J * (O + (W / C) - A))
