Geocache Description:

THE LISTED COORDINATES ARE BOGUS!!!!!! Growing up in Ohio this was all common knowledge, so I am sharing with you. Enjoy and do visit the Buckeye State when you have an opportunity. Word of advice, this is a high muggle area so after solving the puzzle, early morning or late evening would probably be the best time of retrieval.

This cache features 10 multiple-choice questions. Beside each possible answer is a number, take that number and put it in the coordinates and you will find the cache.
