The cache container is a old ARGO cornstarch container with black tape on it. the cache has lots of swag and a few small pencils. You may want a calculator to solve the puzzle.

Thanks for testing my algebraic knowledge this morning. I’m happy to say it was still intact and we have successfully found the caChe. We did hide it better than we found it. Thanks for the smilie!

The prior log made me apprehensive about searching for this cache. I decided to go for it, and used the north side of the shed for cover while I scoped our ground zero. I was able to spot it after quick surveillance. I signed my name to the log and was able to extricate myself from the hot zone without incident, yea!
Thanks for creating the easy yet fun puzzle! Cheers

Quick resolution of the puzzle. Quick find after looking at the previous log...

Was out and about, picking up puzzles that I've had solved for a while. Thanks for the fun puzzle! Also...I am SO SORRY if this one goes missing...the muggle who lives on the other side of the fence got SUPER angry at me for looking around. I did eventually find the cache about 20 ft away from where my GPS zeroed out, and at more of a "bend" than the spot where the hint seems to indicate...so maybe that will help its longevity...but it is a good sized container and pretty visible. I had only been looking at the "hint-spot" for a couple seconds when the muggle ran outside and started screaming at me. I apologized profusely and tried to ask if she was familiar with geocaching, that there's a gamepiece somewhere nearby, etc...but she wasn't having any of it. I was a little surprised because I was still wearing my military uniform...who just starts yelling at someone in uniform without asking what they're doing or listening to their apology/explanation? Must have been a bad day for her...but I hope it's not a bad day for the cache. Thank you for placing this one.

Solved this a while ago. Ok, once at the actual coords, it was a quick find. Great place for a hide. Left a PTA button for the simple algebra.

We solved the algebra puzzle while waiting for our flight to Denver at the Boston airport. Found quickly as we arrived at the solved coordinates. The black camo tape is coming off the CC and could use a repair. TFTC
