Geocache Description:

To find this cache you will need to work out some weights and balances. You will then be rewarded with a pretty easy cache find. The cache is a small cylinder large enough for a couple of trade items, geocoins and maybe small travel bugs. Please hide it well when you leave.

Firstly you will need to work out the weights of each box. No two boxes weigh the same as each other, and each box weighs a whole number of kgs, between 0 and 9.



Now that you know how much each box weighs, you can obtain the coordinates of the cache by working out the weight of U, V, W, X, Y and Z.



Using the published coordinates, substitute UVW as the three decimal places of the minutes of the S component and XYZ as the three decimal places of the minutes of the E component. For example, S -- --.UVW E --- --.XYZ

Before leaving home, you can check your solution here.

Now go get it!

FTF!!! Rumo and Rala
