Simple Math Solution Mystery Cache

This cache has been archived.

jasmerb: It's time to say goodbye to this cache. It was in a great spot, so I hope this opens up the area for a new puzzle.

For those of you that didn't know how to solve it, the acronym SMS for short message service (or text message), was to lead you way back in time before iPhones, and before phones had keyboards on them. Back to a time when you had to click the same number up to four times in order to generate the letter that you wanted. Something like "hello" was entered as "4433555<pause>555666". It was a brutal time, but teenagers mastered it and even had contests to see how could "text" the fastest.
