Geocache Description:

Nestled in Lyons Borough Park, behind Lyons Borough building off of Lyons Rd and behind Lyons Fire Company off of State St. Park is open Sun rise to Sunset. In cache for FTF is a weekday lift ticket for Bear Creek Mountain Resort for 2006-2007 season. See you on the sloops.

The given coordinates are to the parking lot. The cache is within 2 miles of the coordinates given.

A mathematical matrix is an odd number of rows and columns (same # of rows and columns), where you put sequential numbers in so that each row and column total the same number. For instance three columns and three rows will be numbered 1 through 9. All rows and columns will total 15. Mathematically it can be expressed algebraically (X*X*X+X)/2 Where X = # of rows/columns. For instance in a three column/row matrix, (3*3*3+3)/2 = 15.

This is mathematically feasible for any matrix with odd number rows and columns. In an 11x11 matrix the numbers 1-121 are used. Finish the 11X11 matrix to obtain the coordinates for the cache.
Actual Coordinates for the cache:
