Join my 4th graders in solving a simple puzzle focused on division and multiplication. Some days you want a cache that has a difficulty level between a snooze-worthy light skirt cache and a mind-melting puzzle.

I did the puzzle in the field, and did all the math the old-fashioned way. Since I was already in the area, I drove down the street to pick up the cache. There were several muggles that were parked right by the cache, I had to chill for a few minutes before they left and the coast was clear.
Thanks for creating this puzzle and the smiley!

Out learning how to geocache with lasouthpaw. Parking lot lines are purely a suggestion. Thanks for the cache!

Bahahaha - octopi! I love it! I am oh so close to 3,000 finds and I am just itching to get there. I had dinner with luckygecko and afterwards he said the magic words... "Do you think there's a cache around here?" He didn't have to ask me twice, and it turned into a night caching adventure! After the last one we visited, luckygecko had this one figured out and pulled right up to GZ. Guess Saturday night is a popular time for everyone to go out to dinner, I had to wait out some muggles going to and from their car to actually make the grab. Got the log signed and we were off to the next one. Thanks for the smiley! Find #2991.
