Geocache Description:

This is a little game to play in a very nice park in Williston. You won't learn anything significant, it's just a little break before school starts! The coordinates above mark the upper right corner of the Tic Tac Toe board.


To play the game, go to the coordinates listed in each square of the Tic Tac Toe board. At that location answer the question and place an X or an O in the square which represents the correct response.

Complete the game to find the winning line of three in a row.

X O O
X O X
X X O
The cache coordinates would be N 44º 26.590 W 073º 04.278
