Geocache Description:

Not at the published coords. There was no room for a pen or pencil in this cache so please bring your own!

My colourful addition to the marvellous Footsore and Weary series of "Look..." puzzles (previously extended by parmstro and me).

The cache is at: N 51 1(E-F).(C-F)(A -(B/2))0 W 000 2(C-A).(D-B+1)(A-D-2)7

The puzzle solution coords maybe aren't quite spot on as the signal is quite poor here. Use the hint. You might also try slightly to the South (0.01 minutes) and a bit to the East (0.015 minutes) of the solution.

This one offers the chance of a real cache and dash, in keeping with the title, assuming you can sit still long enough to work out the puzzle.

You all probably remember remainders from primary school maths:

if you divide 17 by 5 then 5 goes into 17 three times with a remainder of 2.

We can do so-called integer division (which is written using a \ rather than the usual / division symbol): this is where we throw away the remainder. So 17 \ 5 = 3. Geddit?

To find the cache you need to solve the following puzzle and apply the values into the formula given above.

A = (green) \ 10

B = (yellow) \ 10

C = (brown and black) \ 10

D = (red) \ 10

E = (blue and violet) \ 10

F = (orange) \ 10

Please make sure the cache is left as you found it!
