Geocache Description:

This cache is not located at the above coordinates (obviously). It is located in a reserve in West Auckland, and you will have to solve the puzzle below to find out exactly where...


The puzzle can be solved by a two step process. The first is a simple mathematical operation and for the second it doesn't matter if you are on a Mac or a PC, the standard is the same. You do not need to download anything to solve this - it can all be easily done by hand. There are some tools on your PC, and probably on your Mac that will help though.

You can check your (exact) solution to the puzzle by the following: The S digits all add up to 32 and the E digits all add up to 35; or check here.

The cache is a 1.2L sistema container in a black garbage bag. Initial contents include a log book, pens, silica gel, a couple of trade items and a geocoin for the FTF.

GPS coverage is not brilliant at the final location, but you should find it ok. Use the hint if you need to.

FTF!!! ags
