Geocache Description:


Zachary and the gang were excavating a Dakotaraptor (they're all very confused about how it ended up here in Yorkshire), and they noticed some of the bones make an interesting pattern. It looks a bit like the matchstick puzzles Zachary's granddad set for them when they were a kid. 

Move one bone in each of the two equations to make the sum mathematically correct. 

Once you’ve completed the puzzle, remove the operators to leave a three digit number - so if you get 1+2=3 the number is 123.
Take your top row as A and your bottom row as B

To calculate your final coordinates, use:

N53 32.(A+73) W1 35.(B+261)

 

 

The Dakotaraptor was about 5 metres of 16 foot long, making it one of the largest it it's family of therapods.
