Geocache Description:

An easy pizzle cache is navigating you to old Japanese style warehouses called DOZOU.

DOZOU is made of thick mud walls. One of such caches was placed in Umeda (visit link) and you are welcome to visit there, too.

Today, most of DOZOUs have already been torn down as a result of urban developments through the last century. It is a pleasant surprise that there still remains a number of DOZOUs in the middle of Osaka City.

Once you come to the coordinates, you will see a big DOZOU which is still used for a warehouse of marchandize of dried foods.

Here is an easy quiz. Get the right answers, then you will get coordinates of the final micro cache placed at another DOZOU.

Count the number of windows A, on the upper floor. And count the number of windows B, on the lower floor. Please do not count the entrance opening which is bigger than the rest..

Calculate following:
A = [ ]
B = [ ]
C = A + 1 = [ ] + 1 = [ ]
D = C + A = [ ] + [ ] = [ ]
E = B * 2 = [ ] * 2 = [ ]
F = A + B = [ ] + [ ] = [ ]
G = A - E = [ ] - [ ] = [ ]
H = E + 1 - A = [ ] + 1 - [ ] = [ ]

The final coordinates are:
N 34° 41.CDE = N 34° 41.[ ][ ][ ]
E 135° 30.FGH = E 135° 30.[ ][ ][ ]

Have fun!
