Geocache Description:

Now we can move onto the last of the 3 R's, writing.
As it would be hard for me to check everyone's writing I had to compromise and settle for a crossword to check your skills.

Why not try and complete all 3 R's! Extra kudos to those who do!

Questions:
A = How many letter A's are there in the grid?
B = How many R's are in column 5?
C = How many V's are in the grid?
D = How many O’s in column 13?
E = How many letter D’s are there in the grid?
F = How many E’s are in row 5 (from the top)?

Now the cache can be found at:
N51 (4*D).F(A-10)(C-B)
W000 1C.E(A-D)(C+D)

Do I really need to say that the cache ISN'T where the published coords are and to not go there?
