Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the coordinates above (kids, don't play in the street).

Another cache in my board game series, which consists of:
Boggle Academy
Battle Stations
Word Freak
Chance Encounter
Gammon Gambit
Domino Delight

To get the correct coordinates, you'll need to answer a few simple questions about the domino game in progress below.

There are many versions of dominos. The version of the game seen here is a basic blocking game whereby each tile is placed next to an existing tile according to the pips on either end of the tile to be played. Doubles are played as spinners (see examples in the game in progress). The domino set being played here is called a double nine set.

How many tiles are left to play? Note these tiles are not visible in the picture. Let this number = ab.

Given the current board configuration, how many of the remaining tiles could be legally played on the next turn? Let this number equal cd.

Assuming you could play the remaining tiles in any order, how many could be legally played, one after another? Let this this number = ef.

The cache container, a mint tin, is located at: 47 (a+c)f.(e+f)bd and 122 ac.(e+f)a(a+c)

Fifteen-digit checksum is 59.

Congratulations to schulesjoe for the FTF.
