The Geocachers of the Bay Area (GBA) has held summer picnics in four previous years (2018, 2019, 2021, and 2022). Of course 2020 was the big pandemic year, and in 2023 we hosted a Mega Event, so these years no picnic was held. 2024 is the 5th edition of the summer picnic!
The final coordinates for this puzzle are:
N 37 AB.CDE W 122 FG.HIJ
To solve this puzzle you will need to find some information about the past GBA picnics:
A = tens digit of "will attend" in 2019
B = ones digit of "will attend" in 2018
C = ones digit of "will attend" in 2022
D = tens digit of "will attend" in 2021
E = sum of picnic area #'s from 2018-2021
F = (tens digit - ones digit) of "attended" in 2018
G = (ones digit - tens digit) of "will attend" in 2022
H = difference between "attended" and "will attend" in 2019 divided by 2
I = (tens digit of "attended" in 2021 - ones digit of "will attend" in 2021)
J = picnic area # in 2022
