Cache is NOT at the posted coordinates. Solve the following puzzle to get the correct coordinates.
Did you know that an astronomical unit (AU) is a unit of measurement used in astronomy to describe distances within our solar system? It is the average distance from the Earth to the Sun, approximately 150 million kilometers. The use of astronomical units helps simplify discussions of planetary distances on a scale relevant to our solar system (and my geocache).
#1. Fill in the AU distances to create a code that unlocks the next step of the puzzle.
Mercury: x. _x
Venus: x.x_
Earth: _
Mars: _._ _
Jupiter: _.x
Saturn: x.x_
Uranus: x_.x
Neptune: _ _.x x
#2. Complete the operation for each digit to get the coordinates!
N 38 4A.BCD W 121 1E.FGH
A. Mercury x 2
B. 10 ÷ Venus
C. Earth + 3
D. Mars(Sum)
E. 13 - Jupiter
F. Saturn + 4
G. Uranus - 9
H. Neptune ÷ 15
