Geocache Description:


GEOCACHE IS NOT AT POSTED LOCATION

YOU MUST SOLVE THIS MATH EQUATION TO FIND ACTUAL COORDINATES

surpriseUh Oh! surprise

  • An exclamation used to indicate shock or dismay, primarily used in the English language.   The sound that geocachers make when they find certain kinds of geocaches...for example...a tiny cache hidden in the lava rocks with the hint of “cave”, or a bison tube in a juniper tree or a long math equation you have to work through.  Ugh!
  • **See also Oh No! and Oh Hell No! 

 Don't you just hate trying to solve a geocache where in order to get the final coordinates you need to perform some kind of complex math equation?  We sure do!  And if you are out in the field, better have a piece of paper or a trusty calculator nearby.  I hope you know your order of operations.

Coordinates are a N44 00.XXX  W121 12.YYY

Solve this mathematical equation to find XXX and YYY. Use the checker by entering the coordinates in the format above to confirm your answer.

  6 ÷ 2(1+2) + 710 =XXX

 2 + 3(3x7) + 645 =YYY

 

You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.
