A math based puzzle cache with moderately inaccessible final cache site.
THE CACHE IS NOT AT THE ABOVE COORDINATES !!!
The above coordinates will lead you to a local elementary school. This puzzle cache will require you to use some math skills I learned in elementary school in Omaha, Nebraska.
In order to find the final coordinates, you must be able to translate a number written in base 8. ( hence crazy 8s )
Most people are familiar with base 10 numbers, and a few may recognize base 2 ( the binary number system computers use )but most will not have worked in base 8.
The final cache is at 38 AB.CDE / 090 HI.JKL
ABCDE (base 10) = 155245 (base 8)
HIJKL (base 10) = 33743 (base 8)
Here's a check : A+B+C+D+E = 29 ; H+I+J+K+L = 15
People without excellent mobility and balance probably should ignore this one due to positioning.
In order to get credit for the cache, you must email me a description of what is inside the lid of the cache.
Approach the cache from the east for easiest access.
Good luck and happy hunting!
