Geocache Description:

This is the fourth in my series of Picture Puzzle caches. This cache does not involve as much walking or driving as my previous picture caches. The clues are all in one place and the cache is within a short walking distance of the clues.

Introduction

The initial co-ordinates will place you near the back entrance to a place of knowledge. You will enter this public building during opening hours (MTT:10-8 WF:10-6 SS:10-5) and find the location of your clues. The clues are located inside a specific item, and only this item can be used. If you happen to find similar items containing similar clues, you will not find the cache. The correct item is fairly obvious once you see it.

The order of the picture clues have been shuffled. There are three picture fragments for each page to make sure each clue is unique. Having three images for each page also makes it a little easier for you to find the clues.

Your task is to match page numbers with these photos and then use the formulae provided below to calculate the position of the cache. A short walk will take you to the cache if all your calculations are correct.

Picture Clues





Calculations

Be careful with the following calculations. If you end up with more than a single digit answer for an equation, you have either made a calculation error or have identified one of the photos incorrectly. All the following answers are single digit.
a = A - E - 36
b = B - H + 85
c = C - A + 27
d = D - F - 40
e = E - C + 27

f = F - K - 19
g = G - B + 27
h = H - J - 133
j = J - D + 162
k = K - G - 49

The Cache
