Geocache Description:

Puzzle: Not at posted coordinates There should be only one solution. Good Luck

Depending where you work or play, you probably know that much of your effectiveness and productivity is compiled into a bunch of numbers. Look at the baseball hitter or pitcher, it’s all about their numbers (BA/ERA, etc). The salesman’s or technician’s worth is rolled into a status number that is based on the number of sales or orders worked. Even  a student’s success can be based on their grade point numbers.

So, one can easily conclude: ‘It’s all about the numbers’.

 

Please note that this cache is within walking distance of the posted coordinates.

 

To find this cache, you will need to solve this puzzle. This puzzle clearly shows that there are really only a few numbers that are extra important to you and that most of the other numbers are just for show and just not needed.

 

To determine this cache’s coordinates, one must review these numbers and eliminate any combinations of 4 numbers that when the first two or three numbers of the four are multiplied together the product of that multiplication remains. The 4 numbers must be horizontal (left to right) or vertical (top to bottom)  - Good Luck

                                              ======================

This very small cache container is well hidden and can be grabbed without difficulty – no bush hunting or whacking is needed. Please use appropriate stealth as muggles may be present. Please leave as little disturbed as possible and replace all as found.  Also BYOP  -  Thanks - Good Luck
