Geocache Description:

The cache is not at the posted coordinates. It is in the same park though.

This cache was created for kids to solve. For some kids it will be harder and most will find it easy ( I think ). My kids were with me when I hid it, and are the ones that set the values. For most adult's I think you will find it over rated. There are dirt trails, and hills to climb. With several other caches in the park, you can make a day of it.

To find the cache the following equations must be solved. The cache is at N37° 49.abc W122° 03.def

a= Jack has a dozen apples. He eats one and gives three to Terry. How many apples does Jack have left?

b= A * 0

c= 4 * 10 - 30 + 5 - 15

d= Mika is 10 years old. Candy is 2 years old. Tom is 1 year younger than the difference between Mika and Candy. How old is Tom?

e= a - d

f= e

The cache is a slightly camouflaged ammo can (received from Marky and Joani a long time ago ). about twenty feet off trail. FTF gets the attitude :) (you'll see when you find it). You might want to bring long pants, or something to cover your knees.

I believe most kids can solve the puzzle. It is my experience that a kid able to solve the puzzle should be able to make it to the cache. The cache is over a mile hike though. Adults are more than welcome to find the cache, there are trade items that an adult might enjoy also.
