Geocache Description:


Memorial Park recognizes the service of local veterans.  There are several related benches where you are welcome to sit and reflect.  If there is snow on the ground, it will not be wheelchair accessible.

Final Coordinates are at  N 43° 35.ABC′ W 80° 33.DEF  

Stage 1 - Posted - this bench is the farthest away from the tall statue. 

There are metal "x"s on the bench that resemble the barbs in barbed wire.  There are 3 groups of x's.  The same number of x's is in the left and right corner of the metal image of the back of the bench.  Use this number for the letter "C"    # of x's in each of the corner group on the bench = C

The number of "x"s in the middle of the back of the bench will be "E" in the equation.     # of x's in the middle group on the bench = E

Stage 2 - Bench behind and closest to the soldier's right shoulder.
How many lateral bars or slats are on the bench seat that you could sit on?
Take the number of bars or slats and subtract 4 to get "B"     # of bars or slats - 4 = B

Stage 3 - 1939 - 1945 cutout on Bench 
How many aircraft do you see?
Multiply this number x 2 to get "A"           # of aircraft X 2 + A

Stage 4 - Lest We Forget Bench

Subtract 2 from the number of red poppies on the back of the bench to get "D".      # of poppies - 2 = D

Stage 5 - Stones closest to the stop sign/street name sign
All three words have one letter in them that is the same.
Take the numerical value of that word (a=1, b=2 etc.) and subtract 3 to get "F"  Word value of the letter that is in each of the 3 words - 3 = F

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
