Now for a simple mystery to solve before the real hunt begins!

3/4ths of all years - 1 or 1/4 of all years -2 = A

Colorados not quite true claim to fame about sunny days + 203 = B

Solved the puzzle but the find eluded us today. Will return with a TOTT that will hopefully help.

Good puzzle! I was confused about the first bit as I treated it too mathematically. AT GZ I used a TOTT but could (and should) have found it without one. Nice hide! Cheers.

I have been out of Colorado since the end of last month. I saw this Rohatx mystery cache publish and immediately regretted my travels. Rohatx puts out quality caches that are always an adventure. Two of his caches are in my top ten (out of 9k is pretty darn good). I looked at the puzzle and knew it would take a lot of brain muscle to solve. Math is not my strong suit. Thankfully Rohatx corrected a few (ok a lot) of my errant ways and then I was able to get a happy checker. Yatah! But he says that solving it is the easy part.
So, now that I'm back in Denver. I had to put in my 8 at the ol 9 to 5 (actually 7 to 3) but 9 to 5 is more recognizable. I anxiously and repeatedly checked to see if it was still an FTF. So I spun my tires out of the parking lot and headed over to the GZ. Boy this area has changed.
Several minutes of searching and the use of a TOTT allowed me to make the find and retrieve the container.
Another great cache! Thanks for the challenge and the cache!
