Congrats to Miles ToGeo for First to Find!!

The cache is located at N39 53.JKL W105 07.VWX

To find JKL:
1. Pick a 3 digit number ABC where A and C are different numbers
2. Reverse the digits to form the number CBA
3. Subtract the smaller number from the larger number to get DEF
  (DEF = CBA - ABC or DEF = ABC - CBA)
4. Reverse the digits to form the number FED
5. Then GHI = DEF + FED
6. And JKL = GHI - 421

To find VWX:
1. Pick a 3 digit number MNO where M and O are different numbers
2. Reverse the digits to form the number ONM
3. Subtract the smaller number from the larger number to get PQR
   (PQR = MNO - ONM or PQR = ONM - MNO)
4. Reverse the digits to form the number RQP
5. Then STU = PQR + RQP
6. And VWX = STU - 371

Cache #1800! This is the kind of puzzle I like - one that LOOKS intimidating but if you just try it, it's not so bad :-) Getting to GZ was easier for this one, but still next to a busy main road. Luckily there's a little geo-trail right to/from GZ so we were able to dart out and back quickly. This helped us FINISH our September calendar days, and I hit 1800 total. WOOHOO!

2nd jasperdakota puzzle solved. Thank you for the easy ones. All your others - SMH. Not a clue. Live Wire 77 and I out enjoying a very warm day for January. Found about 13. 5th cache in and I slipped and fell on the ice. It hurts but I can walk on it, so I assume not broken, no bruise marks yet. We shall see what tomorrow brings. Thank you for placing this cache so we could enjoy the game. sl
