As the cache owner, I represent that this file is safe to download although it has not been checked by Groundspeak or by the reviewer for possible malicious content.

The target site has changed in Mar 2017, and this link will now ask you if you want to create an account or sign in. Grr. You can click the bottom line in that box - somethink like No thanks - just view the file.
Different browsers treat this link differently, and it depends on your settings too...
My Google Chrome opens the file in the browswer window.
My Firefox downloads the file then opens it using Adobe Reader.
IE (which I don't use) opened it in the window.
If you get a 404 file not found error, check for typos.
If nothing seems to happen, check popups are allowed.
Otherwise, contact me with code, http address and any error message.
Upon access to auxillary store room you will have 2 numbers, P and Q. Use these to access this cache, and reveal instructions for the next task required.
S43 30.((2*(Q-P)*P*P)
E172 42.(5*P*Q)+(Q+2)
