Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the published co-ordinates.

This one of a series of puzzle caches which relate to the Discworld novels of Terry Pratchett.
Those of you who are familiar with his writings will already have enjoyed the terrible jokes, running gags, and surreal humour which pepper the works.
Those of you who are not familiar with his writings, are missing out on a great deal of pleasure.

In order to find the true location of the cache, you need to solve the puzzle below.

The cache is actually located at N 50 AB.CDE W 000 FG.HJK where

AB = (Cerulean x 2)
CDE = (Yellow x 8) minus (Fern x 2)
FG = Grey + Black
HJK = (Melon x 10) minus Apricot

A correct solution of the puzzle will give you a checksum (all 15 digits) equal to 60

Please note. On 15/7/2018, the puzzle was altered to reflect a change in the source material.
The cache location has not changed so there is no problem if you have solved the original puzzle.
