Geocache Description:

The cache is contained in a small, cylindrical container hidden near the posted coordinates.

The hunt brings you to a quiet spot in a densely-populated business park, so stealth is advised. The camo'ed cache container is about 5" tall, and contains a cache log and several small trade items. To locate this cache, first find the object d'art indicated by the cache title and located at the posted coordinates. Note the date following the artist's "signature."

Let A, B, C and D represent, in order from left to right, the digits in the date. Use the following expressions to determine the location of the cache container.

W = B - ( A + C )
X = C / ( D - 3 )
Y = ( B - 1 ) / 2

The container is just a short distance away---
N 37 degrees 39.7WX
W 121 degrees 54.1YB

Congratulations to geodanimal for FTF!...and thanks, too, for his visual skills that caught an error in the original posting.
