Geocache Description:


This is a puzzle cache.  The cache is not at the given coordinates.  You must solve the puzzle to find the final coordinates.  My geomobile passed a milestone recently and so I decided to put out a geocache to celebrate.  From the picture below you should see the odometer.   From the 6 digit odometer reading substitute a lower case letter beginning with 'a' for each digit. For example, if the odometer reading says 123456, then a=1,  b=2, c=3 etc.

The geocache is at N AB CD. EFG W HI JK.LMN where:

  • A  =  c
  • B = d * e
  • C = (a + c)/b
  • D = (f + b)/e
  • E = (e + f) - a - c/d
  • F = f/a
  • G = b/d + c/f
  • H = b + b + e/f
  • I = b/d + e + c
  • J =  d - e
  • K = (f * b) - e/d
  • L = f
  • M = e * d
  • N = a + c/b 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
