Geocache Description:

This puzzle cache is dedicated to Johnny Boy.


Johnny Boy is our N 48 puzzle expert........or is it Geo-Mom?
Anyhow, if I need help on a puzzle I ask JB.
We are also continually complaining about “Fuzzy Math”, which I think I have eliminated here.

Some of the questions on this quiz are very easy and others will be mind teasers.
All questions need to be correctly answered for credit.
Please E-mail me for correctness.
THE ABOVE COORDINATES ARE NOT THE CACHE LOCATION.
Simply substitute the answers to the questions for the letters in these coordinates.
N 48° 2A.BCD W EFG° H.IJK

The 5* rating is for the puzzle, muggle traffic and the hide combination.
No plants need be disturbed, trees cut down or bushwhacking, just use your Geo-senses.

Remember that dedicated caches are reserved for that person to FTF. ______________________________________________________________________
