Geocache Description:

The cache is not located at the posted coordinates.


I always have bad luck when it comes to gadgets. They are always breaking! Last time it was my game gadget, this time it's my calculator.

When it was working fine, my calculator showed the following digits properly:

The engine that performs the arithmetic is still working perfectly, but the annoying part is that some of the digit segments just don't show up! I know for a fact that all digits share the same set of broken segments.

For example, I add together two 5-digit numbers into my calculator, and the following appears:

Please decipher those numbers to reveal a cache location by replacing the minute parts of the posted coordinates with two out of the three numbers shown on my broken calculator.




You can validate your puzzle solution with certitude.


FTF honor goes to Team Pluto. Congratulations.
